Israeli strikes look to neutralise Hamas' heavy rocket fire

摘要

In the wake of the assassination of a senior Hamas commander on 14 November, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) carried out multiple air strikes to limit the Palestinian militant Islamist group's ability to retaliate using heavy artillery rockets. In an apparent effort to prove that Hamas has obtained Fajr-5 rockets, which have never previously been used by Palestinian militants, the IDF released undated infrared footage taken from an unidentified aircraft showing one being unloaded from a truck and hidden in an underground launch site.
