Footage of the defeat of IDF armoured vehicles being shot at point-blank range with RPGs by Hamas in the streets of Gaza.

Several Israeli Merkava Mk.4M tanks and heavy Namer APCs are hit, rolling unaccompanied by infantry on roads and parked in yards. One armoured bulldozer was also captured and burned.

Literally Grozny 2.0 performed by the strongest army in the region.

After gaining experience in urban battles with Hamas, Israeli tankers began to install simple store-bought cameras on their tanks to increase situational awareness in the absence of interaction with infantry and low visibility from the tank.

Syrian tankers did the same thing with their T-72s during the civil war.

Interestingly, Israel has previously tested the expensive and advanced IronVision system, which involves installing multiple cameras around the perimeter of armoured vehicles and displaying images from them on the crew's helmet-mounted displays. However, as is often the case, the simplest, cheapest and most mass-produced solution wins out over years of low-volume, complex developments that suck up the budget for years.

New footage of Israeli armoured vehicles being shot with rocket-propelled grenades on the streets of Gaza.

Some tanks and armoured personnel carriers are hit with tandem grenades literally at point-blank range. Hamas fighters simply run out in front of the vehicles standing without infantry cover and fire RPGs at them.

The tactic of placing an explosive charge under the turret of a Merkava to disable a Trophy APS can also be seen repeated. This technique has been previously demonstrated (https://t.me/the_Right_People/25926) on video and was obviously not an isolated incident. The end of the video shows scraps of uniforms, trophy equipment and weapons abandoned by the Israeli soldiers.

It appears that the IDF's urban warfare tactics have not evolved in any way since the Russian army first stormed Grozny.

Given the "excellent" co-operation between tanks and infantry in the IDF, this is possible and happens often.
Once again, a "guerrilla charge" was installed, this time on the Namer APC.
