Related: About this forumWATCH: IDF releases footage of Hamas rocket attack on Kerem Shalom
The IDF releases footage of the Hamas rocket attack from the Rafah area in southern Gaza earlier today, which led to the injury of at least 10 people.
The rocket fire, according to the IDF, was carried out from an area close to the Rafah Crossing with Egypt, some 350 meters from a civilian shelter.
The military says the attack is another clear example of the systematic exploitation that the Hamas terror organization makes of humanitarian facilities and spaces for terror needs, while using the civilian population as a human shield.
Some 10 rockets and mortars were launched in the attack.
The IDF says fighter jets struck the launcher, as well as an adjacent building used by Hamas.

Kerem Shalom is the point of entry of humanitarian aid to Gazan civilians.
Someone firing rockets in the vicinity of a civilian center in Rafah wants it destroyed. And it ain't the "genocidal" Israel.

To me, the way Hamas hides behind "humanitarian facilities" and uses them as a shield is utterly horrifying, as is their complete lack of concern for Gazan civilians. Yet so many people seem to conveniently ignore these things. I don't get it.
