I received this from a friend and soldier in the Israeli IDF, he is on the Gaza Strip as I write this, these are his words to me. Its 4 min long and you will first see the “knock knock” on the roof, then you will see what happens next, wait till the dust clears:
"This video may be hard to watch since it's not in our nature to celebrate destruction, however it's absolutely important that everyone sees how the Israeli Airforce conducts air strikes against terror sites (built in civilian areas) used by Hamas to send missiles into Israel
Every airstrike starts with phoning and texting the residents of the house earlier in the day, informing that the IDFs knows of Hamas's operation in the building and to evacuate the premises.
This unfortunately also gives the terrorists opportunity to flee the building and gives Hamas the opportunity to force civilians in the building.
Kind of ironic right?!
Now at the beginning of the video we can see a warning shell being delivered on the roof of the targeted building... These are called 'knock on the roof' shells intended to give another opportunity for people to exit the building.
Then we finally see the airstrike which obliterates Hamas's command centre.
Even though it may be difficult to watch and may make us feel uncomfortable, we need to appreciate the extreme precautions taken to avoid civilian casualty and the level of accuracy of our Airforce.
The IDF (as usual) has taken remarkable steps to reduce civilian causality despite Hamas's best efforts to increase them.
I remind everyone that on average the IDFs civilian causality ratio is 3X better than The UKs and 4X better than the USA and it would be even better if Hamas didn't hide behind their own innocent civilians!"
