Intense helmet-cam video shows IDF commandos in terrifying gunfight with Hamas as they storm bombed-out Gaza hotel hunting for terrorists hiding in the ruins

Intense footage shows Israeli troops storming the ruins of a hotel as they pursue Hamas terrorists as the IDF continues its operation in the Gaza Strip.

Employing machine guns and even a tank, khaki-clad Israeli soldiers are seen advancing with tactical precision and exchanging fire with hidden enemies.

After advancing through the ruins of the large building located in one of Gaza’s refugee camps, the IDF said troops discovered a cache of weapons.

The Israeli operation was triggered by the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack in southern Israel, in which Palestinian gunmen killed more than 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and captured some 240 men, women and children.

Israel, which has vowed to destroy Hamas, has responded with a devastating bombing and ground offensive that has so far killed 11,400 people, according to Gaza officials.

Of them, it is said that two thirds are women and minors. Another 2,700 people have been reported missing and are believed to be buried under the rubble.

In the latest dramatic footage of the IDF ground invasion, commandos are seen methodically going from room to room at the hotel in Mulched, north of Gaza.

Heavily armed and armored troops are seen scouring the site, using rubble for cover and shooting in blind corners where Hamas terrorists could be hiding.

Israeli tanks are also seen in the fray, opening fire on Hamas positions, and an airstrike is called in as two soldiers watch through a window, sending a fireball along with a large plume of smoke into the air.

The fight in Gaza involves moving slowly and methodically through densely populated streets, particularly when it comes to the refugee camps of Gaza City.

While they were once known as refugee camps, they have since become neighborhoods in their own right, more akin to slum conditions.

Israeli troops face death around every corner in their mission to eradicate the terrorist group, and on every street there is the risk of an ambush or a booby trap.

Analysts have compared the dangerous hand-to-hand combat to that seen at Stalingrad in 1942 and, more recently, the Battle of Mosul in 2017.

Filmed by an IDF soldier’s helmet-mounted camera, the latest dramatic video demonstrates this in stunning detail.

The commandos are seen advancing, machine guns raised, through narrow streets lined with toppled and bullet-riddled walls.

Dark windows, through which a Hamas terrorist could appear at any moment, line the buildings above the soldiers as they carry out the operation.

Finally, the video shows IDF troops inside the hotel, one after another down narrow hallways, with more dark doors and blind corners at every turn.

As they advance, they are seen firing bursts at unseen targets.

Finally, the clip shows that the soldiers entered a room where the IDF said they discovered a cache of weapons.

“Last week, fighters from the commando formation attacked on foot in cooperation with armored, engineering and air support forces in the north of the Al-Shati camp,” the Israeli military said in a statement accompanying the images. .

He said the neighborhood was “the most densely populated place the IDF has operated in since the beginning of the fighting in Gaza.”

Meanwhile, Israeli forces also said they had recovered an arsenal of weapons belonging to Hamas hidden in several kindergartens and schools.

IDF officials said the haul included rocket-propelled grenades, mortar bombs and other weapons found in an operation in the northern Gaza Strip.

More videos released by Israeli forces showed a raid on the ‘Al-Carmel’ primary school in Gaza City, where the loot was found.

Opening with a shot of a classroom, the camera then panned to a closet where a stack of RPG shells could be clearly seen.

Another clip showed how Israeli air force planes headed towards the area after Hamas terrorists tried to escape and were killed.

The Al-Shati camp is about a mile from Gaza City’s Al Shifa Hospital.

There, Israeli special forces have been searching the facilities since Wednesday and say they have found evidence that hostages captured by Hamas in its October 7 attacks on southern Israel were being held there.

The military said troops had recovered the remains of kidnapped soldier Noa Marciano, 19, “from a structure adjacent to Al-Shifa hospital.”

He had confirmed his death this week, without giving the cause. Hamas said he had been killed in an Israeli bombing.

On Thursday, the army said soldiers near Al-Shifa found the body of another hostage. Yehudit Weiss, 65, who had been kidnapped from the Beeri kibbutz community.

However, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said Friday that 24 patients have died in the past two days due to power outages.

Israeli soldiers walk through a field as they search for remains of bodies and personal items left behind after the deadly Hamas attack on Israel’s southern border on November 17.

“Twenty-four patients in different departments have died in the past 48 hours because vital medical equipment stopped working due to power outage,” ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said.

On Monday, the ministry said 27 adult intensive care patients and seven babies had already died when Gaza’s largest hospital ran out of fuel to run its generators.

The health center has become the focus of Israel’s war against Hamas, with Israel alleging that Islamist fighters are using a complex of tunnels beneath the hospital to carry out their attacks. Hamas has repeatedly denied the claims.

The Health Ministry said the attack destroyed medical services at the hospital, where the UN estimated 2,300 patients, staff and displaced Palestinians were taking shelter before Israeli troops entered.
