According to the Bethlehem-based Maan news agency, Hamas terrorists held a press conference on Monday night claiming a victory over IDF soldiers in gunfights earlier in the day.  Hamas leaders said terrorists had taught the soldiers “an unforgettable lesson.” 

The terrorists displayed body parts during the press conference, claiming that the body parts belonged to Israeli soldiers who were wounded during the day.  No IDF soldiers lost body parts in Gaza on Monday, and it is not clear who the body parts actually belonged to.

The press conference was held next to the Gaza home of Ahmed Abu Tahoun, one of the Hamas terrorists who was killed in Monday’s fighting.  At least one other terrorist was killed, as was one IDF reservist.
