Palestinian terror group Hamas released a video showing a sniping operation in which an Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldier was hit and sustained significant injury.

The Hamas gunman decided to use some sort of tracer or incendiary round, likely for the visual effect seen in the video, as the bullet makes a flash as it impacts the soldier. The soldier immediately hits the ground and lies motionless.

However, within seconds he rolls himself onto his back, but his legs appear to have lost sensation and movement, indicating a severe spinal injury from the bullet. The fate of the soldier is unknown to us.
