    Breathless bodycam footage has revealed the moment an Israeli
    reservist fought off two Hamas gunmen in a lethal close
    quarters gunfight that unfolded in the hallways of a building
    in Gaza City.

    The adrenaline-filled clip shows how the soldier from the
    Yalam unit of Israel's Combat Engineering Corps was confronted
    by Hamas fighters as he stalked through the structure in the
    city's Shajaiya neighbourhood.

    Entering a room whose door had been blown off its hinges, the
    soldier at first appears to be alone - but the moment of
    calm is immediately shattered as a pair of Hamas gunmen appear
    from the rubble and begin shooting.

    The reservist reacts at unbelievable speed, leaping back into
    the hallway for cover before peeking round the corner and
    blasting one terrorist from mere feet away.

    Taking cover again, the soldier pauses for a moment of rest.

    But seconds later, he is blown off his feet by the brutal
    blast of a grenade hurled into the hallway by his foe.

    . . .

    The MSM sometimes makes war look "abstract" - but it's
    not. It's people -vs- people, soldier -vs- soldier.
    It's often close-up, personal, nasty, extreme.
