Aerial Strike on Hamas Weapons Facility in Gaza

Title: Aerial Strike on Hamas Weapons Facility in Gaza
Runtime: 1:16
Date posted: 15 years ago
Description: After 20 rockets struck southern Israel over the weekend, endangering the lives of over 1,000,000 Israeli civilians, the Israeli Air Force targeted a Hamas weapons storage site in northern Gaza.

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) confirmed direct hits on Hamas terrorist facilities which were embedded deep into the Gazan population. Despite Hamas' tactics of using its own Palestinian population centers as a human shield, the IAF does its best to solely target armed terrorists and avoid any civilian casualties.

The IDF will not allow any attempt to harm the State of Israel and IDF soldiers, and will continue to operate against anyone who uses terror against the State of Israel. The Hamas terror organization is solely responsible for any terror activity emanating from the Gaza Strip.
