What's a "roof knock"? It's when Israel detonates an explosive on the roof of your building letting you know they're serious about you evacuating NOW. One of these roof knocks was caught on camera:

The building reportedly held Hamas offices which is why it was targeted by Israeli forces.What you are seeing in the footage below is a "warning shot" just minutes before the building was brought to the ground.

Benjamin Netanyahu wasn't kidding when he told civilians in Gaza to get out tonight unless they'd rather be killed.

After warning residents to evacuate. Israel still does the "after" part despite Hamas.
Honestly surprised they are still doing roof knocks after this (roof knocks are used to tell people to leave the building as a bombing is incoming) https://t.co/7JemeVmKh5

Roof knocks in this situation shows that the IDF is weak.

After today's incident no need for roof knock.... Use high grade explosives and level them

All of Gaza should be rubble. Every last building.

Crazy they are still doing roof knocks after what has been done.

Stop with the roof knocks. Find the terrorists and kill every one of them.

Hamas was using these buildings to maintain assets.

Even today, Israel is doing roof knocks and phone calls to give civilians a chance to evacuate before taking out a building. Unfortunately that also means terrorists get a warning too. https://t.co/nsoQMdnsSq
You know what else Israel doesn't do? Embed the IDF in civilian buildings and hospitals.
They have to stop doing this. Just take it down and be done with it.

It’s a Hamas headquarters… not a residential building like you’re trying to imply.

More to come, inshallah!
Israel is leveling empty buildings. Hamas sits back and cracks up at this stupid, half-measure. Either reduce the Gaza Strip to ruble (no roof knocks or phone calls) or this Palestinian savagery will continue

What warning were Israeli civilians given?
