IDF Convoy Targeted With Hamas ATGM
Published 10 months ago
Hamas released footage showing an anti tank guided missile (ATGM) strike against a Israeli Defense Force (IDF) jeep, which resulted in multiple casualties.
In the footage was can see a motorcade of IDF vehicles, led by a pair of Merkava tanks, accompanied by wheeled armored personnel carriers (APC) and some light-skinned jeep-type scout vehicles.
The Hamas ATGM operator targets one of the jeeps. He likely makes the choice as it guarantees casualties and destruction of enemy equipment, whereas the tanks and APCs may have Trophy counter measure systems that could intercept the munition.
Following the strike, IDF troops can be seen recovering at least two wounded soldiers from the jeep wreckage.
