Does not like
IDF propaganda
IDF footage of its forces making strikes in Gaza
have been pulled from YouTube.
The video grab released by the Israeli
Defence Force and broadcast on Sky News shows an Israeli warplane targeting a
truck on December 30, 2008 at an unknown location in the Gaza
strip.
However the clip fell foul of the YouTube censors who have also cut
videos showing footage of air strikes and other attacks on Hamas militants in
the Gaza Strip. One shows a group of suspected Hamas militants being blown
up in an air strike as they loaded missiles onto a truck.
An IDF spokesman
said that it was saddened that YouTube took the clip down because it showed
the IDF's operational success in operation Cast Lead against
Hamas extremists in the Gaza Strip.
YouTube is not saying why it pulled
the clip. The attacks have so far failed to stop rocket fire into Israel
and have killed 373 Palestinians, including 39 children, and have wounded
1720 more.
Palestinian militants have also fired more than 250 rockets and
mortar shells, killing four people inside Israel and wounding around two
dozen more.
