(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - At the height of the recent fighting in Gaza, a small rocket hit the roof of a house in Rafah belonging to Muhammad Bawab, leader of Hamas' East Rafah Brigade. His home is a command post overseeing all of the unit's operations. The building was seconds away from being attacked when an officer says a drone has spotted a group of people under a palm tree near the house who are at risk of getting hurt. The attack is stopped as an Israel Security Agency operative phones Bawab's neighbor and warns him that a bomb is coming. After several minutes the group moves away, but the drone operator sees three people still at the scene. A small rocket is then launched at the nearby road to make them truly understand they are in danger. When it explodes, the people under the palm tree start scattering. And then the Hamas command post is destroyed.
