An Israeli family who thought they had lost their cat in a rocket attack were shocked when he came home several hours after being buried.

The family who live in the Eshkol region near Gaza, tells Channel 12 that their cat Jewel disappeared after a rocket landed near their home.

They searched for him and were upset to discover his body under a car that had been destroyed by the rocket. They then buried him in their garden.

However, several hours later Jewel nonchalantly walked into the home, leaving the family to wonder whose cat they had buried.
