This is funny. Hamas in Gaza claimed that they had successfully built a tank, made in part from components of old IDF equipment and tank parts they have captured over time. They even had it out on display for everyone to see and be proud of them..
Unfortunately for them, or fortunately, they turned themselves into a laughing stock. The fact that it was not a tank but some sort of prop made at least partially out of wood and even driving on regular wheels under the tank treads. This wouldn't even need an anti-tank missile to knock it out of commission - just a traffic light.
Here is the clip of their proud display:
if you do a search on google for Hamas tank you'll see the tens of articles in local and foreign press mocking Hamas about the "tank"
Hamas paraded yesterday a "captured, rebuilt Israeli tank". FYI, tanks aren't made of wood and don't run on wheels. pic.twitter.com/cP1e8KFjAJ — Ofir Gendelman (@ofirgendelman) February 1, 2016
