The images were obtained from the Israeli Air Force on Tuesday, 5th December, along with a statement saying: “The Air Force in cooperation with the fighters of the paratrooper brigade attacked the homes of N’Hava terrorists last night and eliminated terrorists from the terrorist organisation Hamas who posed a regional threat to the IDF forces. As part of the activity, the fighters located and destroyed rockets in the yard of a house in the north of the Gaza Strip.”
