Al-Qassam Targets the IDF Engineering Line

In this footage, fighters from the Al Qasim Brigades execute a high-stakes ambush on an Israeli armored column, a fighter emplacing a high-yield improvised explosive device IED on a primary transit route, disguised within the debris. As a convoy led by an armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer passes, the operator holds fire, allowing both the D-9 and a following Nehmer APC, connected by a tow cable, to cross the kill zone. The tactical choice to wait is revealed as a Merkava Mark IV tank enters the frame. The resulting detonation is a direct belly hit, bypassing the tank's heavy side armor

The resulting detonation is a direct belly hit, bypassing the tank's heavy side armor and trophy active protection system.
