Original Note:
The claim that the israeli vehicles were taken out is unbased. The explosions coming out of the vehicles in the videos are a result of the "Trophy" system, a reactive anti rocket defense system. Moreover, the videos don't show the vehicles after the hamas fighter's attack. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/merkava-tanks-trophy-protection-system-showcased-in-hamas-video https://youtu.be/KVma76ZQ2dQ?si=ZGwhsAerHNOYAvZB
