IDF footage shows strike on rockets near mosque
The IDF releases footage of an air strike on a rocket launcher placed near a mosque in Gaza.
The military notes that as the weaponry was placed outside the building, it took care not to damage the mosque in the strike.
Israel has destroyed mosques in other strikes, but says it only does so when they are used to conceal and store weaponry.
