IDF video contradicts claims bystanders killed in Gaza raids

Constant lies by the Palestinians and their supporters! When are the Palestinians, Arabs/Muslims going to learn that lying, racism, hatred and terrorism is not the way for humans to behave!?

Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat on Tuesday urged world leaders to take immediate action over Israeli helicopter gunship strikes that killed 14 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip Monday.

...

Army Radio on Tuesday evening quoted military sources as saying that seven of the 14 Palestinians killed in the air strikes were positively identified as Hamas operatives. The other casualties were believed to be non-combatants.

Palestinians said the seven dead were civilians killed by an Israeli missile fired into a crowd at the Nusseirat refugee camp, while the Israel Defense Forces said only militants had been struck and released a video indicating there was no one on the street near the vehicle targeted in the attack.

According to video footage provided by the IDF, the target areas of at least two of the air force raids were empty of Palestinian bystanders at the time of the missile strikes.

The army released the video - filmed by a remote-control pilotless-plane flying above Gaza and screened on Israeli television news programs Tuesday evening - showing two missiles hitting a car about a minute apart after a brief chase.

"We didn't see any massive gathering of people. We will not allow munitions to be launched when there is a massive gathering of people," said a senior air force officer, speaking on condition of anonymity.
