#9  @IDF on Twitter
Pics Hamas published of its rocket launches. They blur the bottom. Why?

1. So we won't know where the launch site is
2. So you won't see that they’re firing from civilian homes in Gaza

We have 2 things to say:
1. We know where they’re firing from
2. The blur isn't that good


LOL
