Israel Reveals: "Qassam" Fighters Shot Down a Military Helicopter (Video)

More than a week after the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation launched by Hamas, Israeli media revealed that fighters from the "Qassam Brigades" managed to shoot down an Israeli helicopter carrying soldiers in the early hours of the war. "Channel 13" reported that the "Qassam" fighters targeted a "Yas'ur" helicopter that was transporting dozens of paratroopers to the challenging battle in the Be'eri settlement using an "RPG" projectile. The channel noted that this targeting led to the complete destruction of the helicopter; however, "the forces onboard managed to land." Meanwhile, "Channel 12" presented footage of the helicopter as soldiers boarded it in preparation for departure, without mentioning their fate.
