Filmed footage taken on Monday shows a terrorist launching mortar shells from an elementary school for boys in the town of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip.
The footage, taken by IDF aircraft on Monday, October 29, 2007 at approximately 9:00 am, shows three terrorists preparing and then launching the mortars from the school premises, which they used for cover immediately afterwards. The IDF targeted and hit the terrorists as they were fleeing the school premises.
The terrorist organizations, headed and controlled by Hamas, constantly and cynically use the uninvolved Palestinian civilians and children as human shields, as seen in the released footage. This puts uninvolved Palestinians in danger. The responsibility lies with the terrorist organizations alone.
