A new video released on Sunday showed Hamas terrorists training to abduct IDF soldiers at a location in Gaza that Hamas claimed was "a children's playground."

The Israeli Air Force bombed the Hamas training site last week in retaliation for a cross-border grenade attack that left an IDF officer moderately wounded.

The video was shared by IDF Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj. Gen. Kamil Abu Rokon on the unit's Facebook page in Arabic.

"You can see clearly," Rokon wrote, "Hamas terrorists training in the yard of the same building that was bombed. … Yesterday it was alleged that this building was an innocent civilian building, but the truth is … military training that mimics the abduction of an Israeli soldier."

According to Rokon, the building was also located next to a mosque.

"People of Gaza, you must understand," Rokon wrote, "those who conduct terrorist training near a mosque and near a children's park do not care about your religion or your children! This is the truth."
