Troops exposed a Hamas terrorist ambush that used dolls with speakers as a lure

Searches conducted by IDF reservists from the 162nd Division’s 261st Brigade uncovered an elaborate Hamas ambush aimed at luring IDF forces to a nearby terrorist tunnel.

The ambush attempted to use dolls and children's backpacks with speakers playing sounds of crying. These were placed intentionally near a tunnel shaft connecting to a large tunnel network. This network extends under other nearby civilian structures, including a school and a medical clinic. It also connects to a mosque containing a Hamas command center equipped with cameras that were monitoring IDF troops. The command center is connected to the medical clinic's power supply.

Hamas anti-tank and intelligence positions were also located in the area, along with an extensive network of explosives aimed at targeting IDF troops.
