In a December 2022 video, Hamas fighters can be seen flooding a training area, shooting rockets and capturing pretend prisoners as they surround mock Israeli buildings.
In one clip, militants are seen practicing take-offs, landings and assaults with paragliders.
During the October 7 attack, paragliders took off at dawn close to two training camps geolocated by CNN that are near the Gaza-Israel border.
In three of the training camps, they even created fake Israeli tanks consisting of what appears to be a large outer shell surrounding a truck.
Fighters are seen practicing an attack against it, launching RPGs and other explosives.
