Video footage of a tank firing at a civilian car as the driver and passengers attempted to access the Salah al-Din Road, which connects the northern and southern parts of the enclave, has come into the hands of Sputnik.
Witnesses clarified that the bodies of the three deceased, who were in the car at the time of the direct tank fire, were taken to Al-Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip. They were trying to leave the most dangerous area in the northern part of the Gaza Strip and head south.
On October 7, Israel faced an unprecedented large-scale attack from the Gaza Strip as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, declared by the militant wing of the Palestinian group Hamas. Subsequently, Hamas militants infiltrated border areas in southern Israel, targeting both military and civilian sites and taking hostages. Local authorities in Israel reported that more than 1,400 people, including 300 soldiers, lost their lives, and more than 5,000 were injured.
