Israel Defense Forces released new footage showing its Snapir unit fighting Hamas terrorists who tried to infiltrate Israel by sea on Oct. 7.
An Israeli Navy squad stopped a number of Hamas terrorists from reaching Israel’s coastline on the morning of Oct. 7, according to footage released by the Israel Defense Forces over the weekend. The IDF said the video shows soldiers in the Snapir unit spraying machine gun fire on Hamas terrorists as they swam toward the Israeli coast near the city of Ashdod.
Israel’s Snapir protection force is a harbor security unit that patrols the Israeli coastline, according to the newspaper. The squadrons are stationed at bases in Ashdod, Haifa and Eilat. Hamas launched a deadly surprise attack against Israel from Gaza on Oct. 7, infiltrating communities across the border and firing thousands of missiles in barrages to overwhelm Israel’s Iron Dome defenses.
Israeli forces have positioned themselves along Gaza’s border in preparation for what Israel said would be a broad campaign to dismantle the terrorist group. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
