Israeli "Knock on the Roof" bombing technique caught on video. [View all]

The Israeli bombing technique known as "Knock on the Roof" is admittedly how the IDF sends warning it is about to strike a residential structure (in this case a multi-storied apartment building). In the video one can easily see the first, small explosion which is purportedly intended as a warning, to give residents of the building time to flee. The second massive explosion follows about a minute later, and is in turn quickly followed by a third, large explosion which goes off inside the structure, blowing out all of the walls.



Do you think you would have had enough time? What would you have had to leave behind just to save your life?
