IDF Seeks to Strike Rockets Before They're Launched
(Israel Defense Forces) During the Gaza war, the IDF struck hundreds of terrorists as they were firing rockets at Israel. A senior commander in the Gaza Division revealed that the IDF tracks terrorists, maps hostile locations and monitors movements to provide initial indications of upcoming rocket fire. "We operate several methods in order to make sure that we are targeting an enemy. We always strive to confirm 100% that the suspect isn't a civilian." "Hamas fires mainly from within the civilian population and sensitive areas. Schools, mosques and medical facilities are often used to fire rockets at Israel....Hamas terrorists know we are humane, they know that we don't want to harm civilians. So they put their own civilians in danger in order to kill ours."
