Al Jazeera showed new exclusive scenes of a sniper operation carried out by the Al-Qassam Brigades - the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) - against an Israeli officer, during the fierce battles in the Al-Jami'a area, west of Gaza City.
The scenes showed the moments of monitoring by Al-Qassam fighters, before the Israeli officer was sniped and fell to the ground, amid chants of takbir.
According to the viewer, the sniping operation was carried out with the Al-Ghoul Qassam rifle - which was given this name after its developer, the martyr Adnan Al-Ghoul - and its lethal range reaches 2,000 metres.
At the beginning of this month, Al-Qassam broadcasted scenes showing the moment an Israeli officer was sniped during the Gaza battles, fell to the ground and the rest of the soldiers fled.
