/ Both Israel and Hamas are using dogs in the urban and tunnel war that began after the October 7 attack.
According to a report by Yedioth Ahronoth, the movement used dogs in countermeasures to disrupt the Israeli army’s police dog unit.
The newspaper said, “Israeli forces see dogs chained in buildings, and although police dogs were trained during the Israeli ground operation in Gaza not to be distracted by other animals, there are concerns that some difficulties may arise.”
She added, “Hamas intentionally leaves dogs in buildings that the Israeli army’s police dog units will enter, to distract them from their mission to locate explosives and terrorists.”
Israeli soldiers received special briefings on the new phenomenon that has raised concerns.
The Army’s police dog unit was a crucial element in the fighting.
