IDF Blows Up Hamas Rocket Launcher Next To Humanitarian Area Near Rafah, Anti-Israel Trolls Cry ‘War Crime'
[LI] Anti-Israel trolls are again crying foul after Israeli military destroyed a Hamas rocket launcher next to a humanitarian area in Rafah, southern Gaza.

Pro-Palestinian agitators on Twitter accused Israel of a ’war crime’ and ’genocide’ after an Israeli fighter jet on Friday struck a launcher used by terrorists to fire rockets towards southern Israel.

"Yesterday (Friday), a launch that was identified crossing from the area of Khan Yunis toward Kibbutz Ein HaShlosha fell near the security fence area in the southern Gaza Strip. Shortly after, IAF fighter jets struck terror targets adjacent to a launch site in the area of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip," the Israeli military disclosed in a press release Saturday.

The IDF guided the Gaza civilians away from the target ahead of the strike, even at the cost of losing the element of surprise.

"Additionally, IAF aircraft struck a loaded mortar launcher ready to fire toward IDF troops in the central Gaza Strip. Furthermore, in the southern Gaza Strip, after the IDF confirmed the evacuation of civilians located near the area, IAF fighter jets struck rocket launchers aimed to launch toward Israel in the southern Gaza Strip," the press statement added.

The incident took place in Khan Yunis, a town couple of miles from Rafah — the last remaining Hamas stronghold in Gaza. The IDF is setting up a massive tent city in the area to accommodate civilian evacuees from Rafah ahead of an impending military operation aimed at freeing the hostages and eliminating Hamas’s Gaza-based terrorist leadership.

#6 #3 IDF forces attacked and destroyed several rocket launchers situated a few hundred yards from encampments of displaced Gazan civilians in the Gaza Strip's Rafah Sunday afternoon after a total of 14 rockets were fired from the area toward the Kerem Shalom crossing, causing multiple injuries.

Different rocket attack/response from the headline.

#7 But situating the rocket launchers near civilians isn't a "war crime."

Funny how that works, innit?

Only whites can be racists. Only Israelis can be war criminals.
