The IDF bombed a mosque used by terrorists as a rocket launching site. Wait for the world to scream like a girl and faint.
The IDF confirmed Wednesday afternoon that Air Force jets bombed a mosque in western Gaza City. Medical sources in the Strip said that several people were hurt in the attack.
IDF officials said that the mosque was used by terrorists as a storage site for missiles and explosive materials. The army said that Palestinian rocket cells were firing at Israel from the mosque area and from nearby sites.
A short while after the Air Force attack, additional explosions could be heard in the mosque, apparently as result of arms blowing up.
In recent days, the army had been closely monitoring the mosque and discovered that it was used as a hiding spot by Hamas members, who proceeded to fire rockets at Israel from the area.
If the IDF has the video, you’ll find it on their YouTube channel.
Meantime, for all the international law experts who are going to, well, scream like a girl and faint—here’s a snippet for you to watch. This aired on Al Jazeera English. Note how the announcer keeps trying (and failing) to get the lawyer to say Israel’s attacks are illegal. (And by “international law experts,” I mean, “people who know nothing about international law and yet talk about it anyway.”)
Expect much shrieking from the anti-Israel brigade.
Yeah; I noticed that one, too, complete with the secondaries.
I don’t think it matters much, alas; as long as the IDF only occasionally (so far: once) fails to treat mosques, hospitals, schools, etc. as nontouchable weapons dumps, they’ll continue to be used as weapons dumps.
I wish I thought that Operation Cast Lead was a gamechanger, but the most it’ll end up doing, unless things change seriously, is give Gaza back to Abbas.
‘Medical sources in the Strip said that several people were hurt in the attack’.
Looks like the Pallies were smart enough to keep away from that particular mosque. No sense in being TOO religious.
