GoPro footage released to Twitter allegedly shows the moment an IDF bite dog latches onto a Hamas militant while conducting clearing operations inside of the Hamas tunnel network.

The reason we say this video is unconfirmed is because I have yet to see an official IDF release of this footage. There's as strong of a chance that this is training footage as there is of this being actual footage released of recent operations. Generally speaking, the IDF keeps footage like this tight to the chest until they've prepared a full statement on the subject, but it is currently circulating on multiple social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Telegram stating that it is current.

We are unable to confirm the authenticity of those claims, and the IDF has not yet made an official statement claiming that this is recent footage that is part of Operation Iron Swords. When more information becomes available either way, we will update this post.
