The Gaza-based Palestinian militant group Hamas has published a clip allegedly showing the destruction of an Israeli Merkava IV tank. Hamas supposedly employed an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to bomb the tank with an RPG-7 round.

According to Hamas, the group has destroyed almost 10% of Israel's tank fleet, while in total, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) allegedly has about 500 Merkava III and IV models in service. Based on data provided by Hamas, there are only 450 tanks left.

Hamas militants have been known to use RPG-7s to target Israeli tanks. Rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) are portable anti-tank weapons that can penetrate tank armor when fired from relatively short distances. They are often used in ambush-style attacks, where Hamas fighters get close enough to tanks to increase their chances of a successful hit.

Over time, Hamas has developed improved tactics for targeting Israeli tanks. This includes the use of drones, which are capable of bombing tanks, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to disrupt tank movement and create ambush opportunities, as well as adapting to the vehicles' vulnerabilities.

Sputnik Globe. LOL. Part of the Sputnik News network. A source you know is so piss-poor you don't even provide the link in clear text so people will know upfront what crap it is.

So Hamas has already destroyed 50 Israeli tanks before the ground invasion even started -- even more laughs.

Where do you dig up these unreputable sources -- lets take a look at Sputnik.

Sputnik News

Overall, we rate Sputnik Questionable based on the frequent promotion of conspiracies and pro-Russian propaganda, as well as the use of poor sources and numerous failed fact checks.

Your Mediabiasfactcheck site admits its reviews are the opinion of its reviewers, and it has a strong liberal bias. I don't give it a lot of credibility.

The Russian news sites are more objective on the Israel-Hamas conflict than the rah rah propaganda for Israel in the Western press. In any event, it has attributed the statement to Hamas, and there is no reason to believe it has changed the content of that statement.

I don't know if 50 tanks have been destroyed, but when Israel sends the tanks into Gaza it can expect a militant with an RPG around every corner.

It never ceases to disappoint that evolution has sent to it a large chunk of humans place trust in how something makes them feel over objective reasoning.

Its bullshit but it makes me 'feel good'...

A Croatian psychologist friend said its selective breeding, people who lived in very volatile areas survived best by just accepting the new ruler and not complaining.
