Hamas terrorists have killed an Israeli military dog after abducting it along with combat equipment. The incident came to light following the release of misleading footage by Qatar's Al-Jazeera, which initially portrayed the dog attacking an elderly Palestinian woman. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has since clarified the situation, revealing the tragic fate of the canine and condemning Hamas' actions.

Earlier this week, Al-Jazeera broadcast video footage showing a dog attacking an elderly Palestinian woman. However, it has now been revealed that the dog in question was actually a K-9 from the IDF's canine unit "Oketz", that had been kidnapped by Hamas along with its combat gear.
An IDF spokesperson stated, "The dog shown in the video is an Oketz unit dog that was abducted by the Hamas terrorist organization along with the combat equipment on its back. The incident occurred after contact with the dog was lost. The dog was never ordered to harm uninvolved civilians."
The spokesperson further emphasized, "The dog was killed and booby-trapped to harm our forces, as part of Hamas's cynical exploitation."
The footage was aired on Al-Jazeera, which has been broadcasting Hamas propaganda since the start of the war. The Qatari channel has been showing videos of terrorists attacking IDF soldiers, while the channel's commentator praises Hamas.
