Hamas's al-Qassam Brigades released a video showing Palestinian fighters killing an Israeli soldier in the Gaza Strip and seizing his weapons after reportedly deciding not to abduct him. This footage, described as the first of its kind in 14 months, appears to contradict the Israeli military's official account of the incident. The Israeli army had acknowledged the soldier's death but denied the abduction attempt. Israeli media criticized the army following the release of the Hamas clip, highlighting troubling discrepancies between the two narratives. The video shows the killing and an attempted abduction in Khan Yunis, Gaza, challenging the Israeli Defense Forces' version of events.
