Watch: IDF releases helmet camera clips from Jenin raid

The IDF and Israel Police have published the GoPro footage from the security forces that operated in Jenin today. The helmet camera footage shows the forces advancing quietly under cover of night at the beginning of the operation

A later part, filmed during daylight, shows the forces exiting their armored vehicle under fire and trading shots with the terrorists.
Along with the film from the soldiers, a GoPro recording was released from working dog Daggoo, who accompanied Israeli forces into Jenin during the operation today.
Daggoo was in a Panther armored vehicle that was disabled by an IED. Seven Israeli soldiers were injured by the blast, and were airlifted to hospital care. Daggoo was taken along with them and examined by the veterinarian from the IDF’s elite Oketz canine unit. He was diagnosed with internal bleeding and a pelvic fracture.

The veterinarian is reported to have perscribed lengthy bed rest for Daggoo after initial treatment for his injuries. Staff at Rambam Hospital report that Daggoo has refused to leave his injured handler’s side, and the two are recovering together.

The footage shows the operation beginning in the early hours of the day, the raid on the target house, and the Israeli forces entering their vehicle shortly before the IED attack.
