This is how Hamas infiltrated 20 kilometers into Israel, which has already recovered all the occupied areas.

It was an unprecedented offensive. Breaking the fence, crossing the maritime border and using motorized paragliders, the Islamic group Hamas carried out this weekend the largest attack on Israel in its entire history by land, sea and air, occupying more than 15 towns and three Israeli military bases.. The furthest area of them – Ofakim – located more than 22.5 kilometers east of the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian area from where the militants left.

Hamas carried out a complex and coordinated infiltration that consisted of crossing the 60-kilometer fortified border that Israel has been building for years as a security measure – and which did not take long to be knocked down by the Arab group in some of its sections -, to recover what they denounce as an “occupied” territory.

The Palestinian organization crossed the border with Israel on both sides (north and west) and forced Israel to activate the emergency in the entire territory close to 40 kilometers from the Gaza Strip.. Hamas propaganda images and others spread by Gazan users show how the militants brought down the separation fence between the two regions using multiple methods.

One of the most shocking videos was the one that showed the use of an excavator, which managed to knock down the fence, leaving the way clear for a huge group of armed soldiers entering Israeli territory.

At Kerem Shalom, the southernmost border crossing in Gaza, the Palestinians managed to break the wire fence, drilling a hole through which dozens of motorcycles and pickup trucks driven by armed men headed to regions such as Sufa or Holit crossed.

They also crossed through the air. The armed wing built motorized paragliders propelled by a propeller. In fact, the same organization has boasted about this operation in a video where several of its members appear flying over the separation walls and setting foot in Israel shooting with their weapons.

In northern Gaza, the Islamic jihadist group carried out an incursion by sea, in the only border area of this type, although with less success than the land advances. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed having repelled two attempts by Hamas to cross into Israel by sea, bypassing the underwater border.

Also in northern Gaza, militants blew up the concrete border wall at the Erez checkpoint. Once the pass was open, they took this checkpoint and advanced towards regions such as Netiv HaAsara, Ashkelon or Zikim, where they took an Israeli defense base.

Thanks to these successful raids, Hamas was able to dominate at least 17 towns and three Israeli military bases: in Zikim, Re'im and Nahal Oz.. The third of these regions is the place where the music festival was located in which the Hamas military intervention left 260 bodies and dozens of kidnappings towards Gaza.

Two days after the Hamas infiltration, the Israeli army claims to have regained control of all the assaulted towns, preparing an offensive and blockade of the Gaza area, while a rocket exchange takes place between both forces that reaches Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, the most populated city in Israel.

The infiltration on multiple sides has given rise to a new episode of tension between both territories, which has already left more than 1,200 dead in 48 hours and hundreds missing, including two Spaniards.
