I seriously hurt my hand, and now I am suffering from an injury. The Jews attacked me with the dog.”In early June, IDF troops in Jabaliya narrowly avoided disaster when Hamas set a trap by killing the same military dog the Arab woman complained about in the video and using its body to lure the soldiers into an ambush.When the IDF soldiers were operating in the Jabaliyah refugee camp, they were alerted to the presence of terrorists in a building.The soldiers then sent a drone to an alley close to the building. The drone detected the dog’s presence, but there was no indication whether it was still alive.When the soldiers went to get the dog, the dog had mysteriously disappeared.The soldiers then realized that Hamas terrorists had killed the dog and planted explosives under its body since they knew the IDF would come to rescue it.This suspicion was confirmed when they saw wiring from the explosive device coming out of the dog’s body.On Wednesday, the dog’s body was returned to Israel, where it was given a special burial for heroic Oketz IDF dogs.
