Hamas Deploys Donkey Strapped with Explosives Against Israeli Soldiers

July 19 2014

An Israeli army video shows a tunnel that Israel says was to be used by Gaza militants to launch attacks. Also, Hamas militants strapped explosives to a donkey and sent it toward Israeli soldiers.

“IDF forces operating in the Rafah area spotted an explosives-laden donkey approaching their position. The soldiers opened fire, causing the explosives to detonate,” the army wrote on its website regarding the Friday evening incident in which the animal “suspiciously began to approach.”

No humans were injured in the incident.

The IDF noted that it had obtained intelligence that Hamas intended to use bomb-laden animals as Israeli forces storm Gaza.

This is far from the first time insurgents have used suicide donkeys in the Israel-Palestine conflict – the practice dates back to at least June 1995, the IDF said.

“Sending an animal to its death to serve terrorist purposes may seem shocking, but last night certainly wasn’t the first time Palestinian terrorists adopted this despicable tactic,” the IDF wrote.
