A Hamas fighter runs up to a Merkava tank, plants an explosive, and escapes before it blows the tank up. (I edited the video just a bit)

Cute. The guy has balls, no doubt.

BUT WHAT SORT OF DAMAGE DID IT DO? Did it actually disable the tank? Did it kill or wound the tank crew members? If so, how many? Where are the 'after' videos showing the tank damage or MEDEVAC of wounded Isroelis?

The projectile he planted on the tank appears to be TBG7 Thermobaric rocket. The way he placed it facing the turret ring leads me to believe he did do some major damage. At the very least he's gonna fuck up the turret rotation or electronics, at worst the crew is shredded by shrapnel.

Still the worst case scenario for the crew, for others depends who you are ig

The tank drove away. Some minor penetration marks and dents and scratches. Other then that crew is safe and un injured and the tank still operating just fine. This is why they very rarely show the aftermath.

Hamas has the ability to make advanced, dual warhead RPG rounds and to manufacture them all in the Gaza Strip. I hope they're not running short of raw materials.

As far as the guy that planted the explosive. He didn’t make it.

Do you have any source for this or are you just coping?

Well it seems like they got footage of everything there… except for the aftermath of what happened to the tank.
