Yesterday, following Israeli missile attacks against Hamas targets in Gaza, Palestinian sources claimed that 8 “civilians” had been killed and more than 80 wounded when Israeli fired on a crowd of Palestinians.

Today, the Israeli Air Force released video footage proving that these claims were bald-faced lies: IAF footage refutes claims of massacre in Gaza.

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.
