Video: Precise Bombing of Missile Site in Mosque Yard
New IAF Video: Surgical attack on underground launching site located in the backyard of a mosque. Mosque was not hit.

The Israeli Air Force has issued a new video showing the pinpoint accuracy of aerial bombings and Hamas’ use of holy sites for terror.

The surgical missile strike bombed the underground launcher site in the backyard of a mosque without causing damage to the building, used for worship by Muslims.

Precision aerial bombings in the Pillar of Defense counterterrorist operation have proven themselves, sparing civilian deaths and a media backlash.

Israel suffered serious damage in the Hamas propaganda war in Operation Cast Lead four years ago. Foreign media and Israel’s mainstream media accepted Hamas claims of civilian deaths, many of which later were proven to be untrue.

The United Nations Human Rights Council, in its Goldstone report, condemned Israel for war crimes. The report’s author, retired South African Judge Richard Goldstone, later admitted the report was based on incomplete information.

#1 > Mosque was not hit.

Use cluster munitions next time, or bunker buster, try and make mosques look undamaged, but unstable and thus likely to fall on attendees.

#2 Doesn't matter. Israel is the aggressor in this go round. They killed the military leader of Hamas. All of the rocket attacks are retaliation for that.

#6 Then that should no longer be considered a 'holy site' but a legitimate military target. Israel was within its rights to level the place and them bounce the rubble.

It even says so in the Geneva Convention...

#7 Gaza is not a signatory to the Geneva Conventions, I don't think. Which makes it ok to launch missiles from mosques and not be shot back at. Sez so somewhere in jernalizm skool.

#9 Then if they are not signatory of the Geneva Convention - the convention rules (and protections) do not apply.

#11 So are we supposed to think that nobody who attends that musk noticed a missile bunker being built and maintained?

#12 You and I would be upset if crazies built a missile launcher next to our church. I suspect that the mosqueteers were more than pleased with the arrangement.

#13 Hmmmm. Could be. The IDF did find and destroy it, so perhaps the musk should be treated as full of spy jooos just to be sure.

And to be clear, because so many medias are actively looking for shocking photos, they have created a well paying market for such weapon and dead people photos. Blood Pixels.

#14 "Then that should no longer be considered a 'holy site' but a legitimate military target."

You got it all wrong. Using a mosque as a missile launch site MAKES it a holy site.
