The IDF published footage on Tuesday of a soldier confronting two Hamas terrorists in close quarters in Shejaia in the Gaza Strip as the IDF continues operations in the neighborhood of Gaza City.

In the video, the reservist soldier in the Yahalom unit can be seen in an intense firefight with one Hamas terrorist during which a grenade was thrown at the soldier, wounding him. 

The soldier succeeded in taking out the terrorist before entering the room and killing a second terrorist at point-blank range.
