Hamas pretends it is destroying tanks - but is really showing Israel's TROPHY repelling their anti-tank missiles

Hamas has published lots of dramatic videos showing them shoot at Israeli tanks and dramatic explosions that result, which they then claim destroyed the tanks and killed the soldiers inside.

Here's a Hamas video gleefully published by Al Jazeera earlier this week claiming to prove they have destroyed six tanks.

Here are two frames from that video that show a dramatic explosion seemingly on the tank:

The blast is not the missile hitting the tank, but the TROPHY system, built by Rafael, which shoots projectiles that exploding the anti-tank missile shortly before it can hit the tank itself, dissipating the explosion so it cannot penetrate the tanks' hull. 

Here's how it works:

TROPHY is deployed on Israeli Abrams, Leopard, Challenger, Merkava and Namer.tanks and armored vehicles: 

The IDF has confirmed that the TROPHY system has been effective. "We encountered dozens of anti-tank missiles launched at our forces, and in each case, we managed to avoid damage due to the good systems we have," Lt. Col. Itzik Cohen, commander of the 162nd division, told a press briefing.

And how do we know Hamas and Al Jazeera are lying? 

They never show the "destroyed" or damaged tanks after the explosion. Because the tanks keep going, without any problems.

And in some cases, they fire back within seconds to the source of the missile.
