It took dozens of Gaza militants — armed with guns, grenades and bomb-dropping drones — to take control of an Israeli military base just outside of Nahal Oz, Israel, a CNN analysis of videos released by Hamas has found.

At least two Israeli soldiers were killed by the militants, and at least six female soldiers at the base were seen being taken prisoner in the videos.

The videos have all been geolocated and authenticated by CNN.

Hamas, the Islamist militant group that controls the densely populated Gaza Strip, heavily edited the videos to obscure the identity of their militants and to flaunt the success of their attack. 

The clips offer the first glimpse into how Hamas organized and executed its attack on Israel early Saturday morning.

How the ambush unfolded: It begins with armed men sneaking between two earthen berms near a gate along the Israel-Gaza border fence. They are then seen approaching and moving past a watchtower — the military base's large communication tower is seen in the distance. 

Once past, the militants — dozens of them, dressed in dark clothes — are seen moving across the open space toward the base. 

A second video, taken around the same time by a weaponized drone, appears to show the start of the ambush. Three Israeli troops standing near a van on the southern portion of the base are seen before the drone drops at least two bombs on them. One Israeli appears to be badly wounded as the troops take cover next to a nearby military vehicle.

The videos indicate that, although the militants were traveling from the north, they circled around the base and began the assault from the south. 

One of the videos shows militants throwing a grenade on top of a moving Israeli military vehicle just outside the base. 

It's unclear from the videos how many troops were stationed at the base, or if there were extensive firefights there. 

An additional video shows a number of individuals — some appear to be looting the base — on top of and around a few tanks on the property. At some point during the storming, something on the base caught fire, and a thick plume of black smoke appears. 

The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed earlier on Saturday that fighting was taking place in Nahal Oz.
