(Israel Hayom) Lilach Shoval - The IDF Gaza Division's Canopy of Fire offensive system, combining intelligence and aerial capabilities, struck between 40 and 50 terrorists in Gaza in the past week. According to a Gaza Division officer, Canopy of Fire is "a system that combines intelligence with firepower, and was created to hit every type of high-trajectory threat against Israel." An officer with the rank of lieutenant-colonel is always present in the operations center for the purpose of authorizing a strike. Under extraordinary circumstances, when sensitive structures such as schools are located in the vicinity of a target, a series of authorizations are required. "There is quite a bit of fire from places such as schools or cemeteries. What is unique is the ability to do this very quickly and hit as few uninvolved bystanders as possible along the way. The moment that people who are shooting are identified, they are kept under observation and we decide on what means to employ - from the air or ground." 2014-08-29 00:00:00Full Article
