Super Precise Anti-Terrorist Israeli Air Strike
2014-06-30


The Jerusalem Post has reported an 'unverified' video which purports to show a super-precision Israeli airstrike somewhere in the Gaza Strip yesterday.

The footage, which appears to be piece together from a number of CCTV cameras, shows how accurate Israeli targeting is when the country's armed forces strikes at terrorists in Gaza – despite terrorists placing infrastructure and weaponry close to schools and in civilian buildings.

The website reports that "Security cameras near the Shati refugee camp in the Gaza Strip allegedly recorded the assassination of two terrorists by the Israel Air Force."

The car can be seen being struck with an almighty explosion following. A man walking just a few metres behind the car at first seems dazed, but unhurt.

#13  Regardless of how it happened (IDF said they did it) gotta love the Wile E. Coyote Super Genius rollout at the end.

"O​sama Ha​s​sumi and Mohammad Fatzih, who were targeted in this assassination, were responsible for many of the recent rocket barrages and planned more (they did not belong to Hamas, rather the PRC).

Both the IDF spokesperson and Palestinian official sources confirmed that this was an airborne assassination of these 2 terrorists."

#11  I'd think you'd need that kind of precision to hit the handful Palestinians not engaged in terrorism

#9  Hamas and ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/Ruthers/AP/UN/WH/etc... - "A vehicle driven by sixteen children and their fluffy bunnies...."

FIFY - no charge.

#8  Whatever was used, it's smart of Mossad to claim that it was an air-to-ground weapon...

#7  As far as I'm concerned, an Arclight is precise enough to be used on Palestinians.

#5  Suspect it was a cellie bomb with the caller observing from a seaside apartment with his finger on the speed dial. Just my guess.

#4  Yes, upon closer inspection it appears the floorboard of the car, undercarriage, tires, etc. were undamaged [note the post-blast rolling stop]. This might indicate a suicide vest or bomb cushioned by a seat [explosives not sitting on the floorboard or total penetration and roadway cratering]. Cams appear to be mounted on light poles.

#3  Ima thinkin' workplace accident/self-kaboom. Not an airstrike IMNSHO.

#2  Likely a car bomb filmed for propaganda purposes.

#1  If this is legit, that car was hit by something even smaller than a Hellfire, maybe one of those proposed guided 2.5" Folding Fin Rockets. The IDF may have something even smaller than that, but I can't remember the name.
