IDF Denies Responsibility for Dog Attack in Gaza

The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) has denied accusations that one of its dogs attacked an elderly woman in Gaza, as portrayed in photos and videos published by Al Jazeera. According to the military, the dog had been abducted by terrorists during a mission in Gaza. The dog was later found dead, with its body rigged with explosives intended to harm soldiers attempting to retrieve it. The footage from the dog’s camera showed it attacking the woman, but the IDF clarified that the dog was no longer under their control at the time and had not been ordered to harm civilians. The incident has drawn significant attention on social media, with the woman, Daulat Abdallah Altanana, likened to Little Red Riding Hood. The video was distributed by Anas Al Sharif, a journalist affiliated with Hamas, who has a personal history of loss due to IDF actions.
