The Times of Israel reports: Israel’s chief military liaison to the Palestinians released an Arabic-language Facebook video Sunday accusing the Hamas terror of spreading “fake news” and challenging reports that Israel had hit a playground in Gaza in its airstrikes Saturday.
“In the video before you, you can clearly see members of Hamas’s military wing carrying out an exercise in the building that was struck. Yesterday, it was claimed that this was an innocent civilian building and a children’s playground,” said Maj. Gen. Kamil Abu Rokon, known formally as the coordinator of government activities in the territories (COGAT).
