Hamas releases military training footage

Footage has been published of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, undergoing training in overcoming what they call ‘obstacles of the enemy’s front line’ in preparation for Saturday’s surprise attack against Israel. Militants can be seen preparing explosives to destroy fences, and assembling makeshift ramps which motorcycles then pass over. At least 700 people have reportedly been killed in Israel following the attack, and over 400 have been killed in Gaza after Israel began retaliation attacks.
