Gaza reporter acknowledges Hamas fired rocket near their Bldg

(See English here) Footage of a presenter on the Arabic language television station Al-Arabiya apparently confirms that Hamas fired at least one rocket from close to a building used by journalists during the 22-day conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The Israel Defense Forces shelled the building, drawing international condemnation, and television networks with offices in the building denied that rockets had been launched from anywhere nearby.

But the recording, filmed by an Israeli and released Tuesday by Israel's Foreign Ministry, shows Al-Arabiya presenter Hanan Al-Masri saying that a Grad rocket had been fired from a location near the studios at Al-Shuruk tower in Gaza City. Al-Masri did not realize that she had been caught on camera.

Al-Masri, a Gaza resident, has been a reporter for Al-Arabiya for three years. She is filmed discussing other issues until she is apparently distracted by the firing.

"...A rocket from here? It's here," she says and turns to look at a window. "Listen, it's here, below the building..."

The production team tells Al-Masri that a rocket has been fired from a nearby location. She then calls someone and says: "The rocket that was just fired from here is a Grad?... It's as if it was fired from beneath the office. It was very loud. I thought it was bombing but it was a rocket launch."

The Foreign Ministry says the film is proof that Hamas had fired from the area of the studios.

theinf, can you provide names of "NEUTRAL doctors" who examined patients wounds? bring reference to reliable web sources? let us see, will you? Jesus is your G-d? it shows.

[ovadia222]

...theinf, btw do you mean Hamas used innocents civilians as human shields? cannot be. hamas never do that. LOL. So far Arabs have been known as pathologic and chronic liars. you have to work hard to change that. look at the mirror. your nose is already bigger.

Who the hell are the Falastinians? where do you invent stupid lies like that from? Falastine or falastinians never existed before 1964. It is a fiction. They are plain Arabs from neighboring countries. Another Arab lie.

She probably got raped and beat half to death for that comment.

How dare she expose hamas for what they are?

[Maccabeus1897]

Hamas = liars

[ovadia222]

theinf, asshole your mother.

do you have proof of uranium shells? no. once un vehicles carried terrorists and weapons the become a valid target. that is the law. live or die with it. most of the 1300 dead were active terrorists or civilians harboring terrorists. They deserve to die after what they did. unfortunately there are innocent civilians killed in every war, especially if Hamas elected Gaza as a base. i am sorry for them, but HamasArabs are tp blame.
