Il filmato di un drone dell'aeronautica Israeliana dimostra che il "massacro" di Gaza e' l'ennesima bufala palestinese.

IAF footage refutes claims of massacre in Gaza
By MARGOT DUDKEVITCH

Twenty hours after the IAF helicopter rocket attack on a vehicle containing Hamas terrorists in the Nuseirat refugee camp on Monday night, which was described by the Palestinians as a massacre and by MIK Ranan Cohen as a "blitz", the air force released footage that clearly shows there were no Palestinian civilians in the street when the two rockets hit the car despite Palestinian reports claiming otherwise.

The thermal footage taken by a remote control drone that filmed the entire rocket attack begins shortly before the first rocket hits the vehicle carrying the Hamas suspects.

The picture shows the main road in the camp with two vehicles traveling a distance apart along it. The helicopter monitors the movement of the terrorist's car, which is the second vehicle seen on the film and shows the first Hellfire missile directly hitting it.

The driver loses control, crashes into a tree and the car disappears, hidden by a building, but is seen seconds later traveling in reverse. There are no people on the streets and no other vehicles when the car comes to a halt.

An ambulance is then seen passing the damaged vehicle as it continues along the road. Only after the ambulance is a distance away does the air force pilot release the second rocket which hits the vehicle and clearly shows three bodies lying in the street.

For at least two and a half minutes after the attack the footage shows the thermal images of one or two other people in the area but not close to where the vehicle that was hit.

On Monday night following the attack Palestinians claimed eight people were killed and over eighty wounded. Palestinian media reports claimed that air force helicopters fired one rocket which hit the car and then a second rocket into a crowd that had gathered around the burning vehicle.

Israeli security officials on Tuesday said of the eleven Palestinians killed in all five attacks on Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip at least seven had been accurately identified as Hamas terrorists.

The IDF Spokesman noted that the entire incident began at the border fence near Kibbutz Nahal Oz when soldiers on patrol spotted a group of Palestinians attempting to infiltrate into Israel and opened fire killing two.

At the same time the soldiers spotted members of the same terror cell fleeing in a car back towards Gaza. The soldiers alerted the air force and a helicopter pursued the vehicle and fired rockets killing the Hamas terrorists that were inside.
