GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — A video released by the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, on Jan. 8 showed military exercises carried out by the group’s naval commandos dubbed the “Frogmen Unit.” The video included footage of unit members off the coast of Gaza seizing a harness attached to the back of a dolphin, which included a holster for a gun- or spear-like device.
Al-Qassam Brigades claims the device is an “Israeli tool” intended to target its members.
