In the footage, mostly shot from the militants’ point-of-view, rockets can be seen fired at what Hamas said were Israeli tanks. Reuters was unable to independently verify the date and location when the video was filmed.

Hamas said via its official Telegram channel that footage shows the targeting of “enemy soldiers and vehicles” in the Yabna camp for displaced residents.

Gaza’s health ministry said 274 Palestinians were killed – up from 210 it reported on Saturday (June 8) – and 698 were injured when Israeli special force commandos stormed into the densely populated Al-Nuseirat camp to rescue four hostages held since October by Hamas militants.

Israel’s military said a special forces officer was killed in exchanges of fire with militants emerging from cover in residential blocks, and that it knew of “under 100” Palestinians killed, though not how many of them were fighters or civilians.
