Israel-Palestine: How Hamas gunmen broke through the Gaza border

Hamas has released footage of its multi-pronged assault on Israel, which combined watchtower bombings, rockets and power gliders to catch Israel's military completely off guard.

The footage shows Hamas bombing a number of watchtower and Israeli defence sites along the border, followed up with hundreds of rockets to sow chaos.

Hamas gunmen in motorised paragliders then flew into southern Israel amid the confusion, with some reaching a nearby rave party where they massacred at least 250 people.

At the same time, other Hamas squads were working to smash through weak points in the Israel-Gaza border fence before pouring through to the other side to commit further massacres.

The footage shows bulldozers ploughing through the fence, followed by fighters on foot armed with what appear to be RPGs and also gunmen on mopeds.

Hundreds of Hamas gunmen are believed to have come through those breaches in the fence, which remain open and were still being used to launch assaults on Monday morning.
