Patrick neutralized a terrorist, Toy saved the force: This is how 'Oketz' operates in Gaza • Watch

December 31, 2023   

The fighters of the Oketz unit and their dogs from the Marom Brigade accompany the fighting forces in the Gaza Strip. In numerous cases, the unit's dogs were sent for an initial scan before the fighting forces raided terrorist infrastructures, identifying various types of threats and thus preventing harm to our forces. The dogs map houses, and locate weapons and explosives. During a joint attack with the fighters of the 460th Brigade combat team in the Jabaliya neighborhood, Fighter A sent his dog Patrick to scan the location before the forces entered the building. During the scan, Patrick located a terrorist who was ambushing the forces at the entrance, neutralized him, and thus prevented a clash. In another operation in the Rimal neighborhood, a search by the dog Toy found a corridor that connected the building where the fighters were staying to another building where a terrorist was lurking. Toy neutralized the terrorist, thus saving the force from operating in a building that appeared to be cleared.
