Terrifying body camera footage shows an Israeli special operations soldier coming face to face with two Hamas terrorists in a Gaza building and eventually eliminating them both, even after being wounded by grenades thrown at him, Israel said Tuesday.
The encounter was filmed by the helmet camera of a member of the elite Yahalom unit in the Israel Defense Forces’ Combat Engineering Corps as he encountered the pair of Hamas operatives in an apartment in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City.
The Israeli soldier repeatedly shoots at the men from a door before hiding in the hallway for cover as they try to shoot him.
The Israel Defense Forces soldier is able to eliminate the terrorist closest to him, but as he retreats for cover, the second Hamas member throws a grenade that explodes right in front of the Israeli fighter.
The Yahalom member is knocked down and stunned in a cloud of smoke as the Hamas gunman continues shooting.
Despite being injured by the explosion, the IDF soldier recovers and waits until the shooting stops before returning to the door and responding.

After a brief pause, the soldier slowly enters the room, where he comes face to face with a Hamas terrorist who was also entering through a destroyed hole in the wall.
Both men shoot at each other at the same time, but the terrorist misses when the IDF soldier shoots him repeatedly until his enemy drops dead.
Shejaiya and Jabalya continue to witness heavy fighting as the IDF cited the areas as the last two Hamas strongholds to be eliminated in northern Gaza.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Monday that the two Hamas bases were surrounded and that IDF soldiers were “about to dismantle them.”
The IDF soldier recovered quickly after being hit by a grenade. IDF
“We are close to a breaking point in the northern Gaza Strip,” Gallant said, calling on Hamas fighters in the area to surrender as hundreds have done so far.
Shejaiya also recently suffered the loss of its battalion commander, Emad Krikae, one of the leaders suspected of being behind the missile attacks and raids on October 7.
He was killed by Israeli forces, like his predecessor, who was among a dozen other commanders eliminated in airstrikes across Gaza last week.
