Journalists from India’s NDTV say they have captured stunning footage of Hamas preparing and launching a rocket from a site near a Gaza hotel:

More from NDTV:
This report is being aired on NDTV and published on ndtv.com after our team left the Gaza strip – Hamas has not taken very kindly to any reporting of its rockets being fired. But just as we reported the devastating consequences of Israel’s offensive on Gaza’s civilians, it is equally important to report on how Hamas places those very civilians at risk by firing rockets deep from the heart of civilian zones. [Emphasis ours.]
Hamas has no regard for human life. Not for Israeli lives, and not for the lives of Gaza’s civilians.

Apparently there are Hamas rocket teams in Gaza, and they fire from civilian areas! Who knew? (h/t @JeffreyGoldberg) http://t.co/wr7wg5t9bK

What will @KenRoth @HRW @amnesty @UN @ICRC say about this proof of #Hamas firing rocket from #Gaza residential area? http://t.co/BbXs0PoysH

Roth hasn’t commented yet, at least not on Twitter, but we’re guessing he’d say that Hamas isn’t violating anyone’s human rights.
Meanwhile, will our own media learn anything from this?
