WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — In 2014, according to the report, the Israeli military used such "roof knock" tactics during operations in the Gaza strip.
"The controversial tactic consists of firing a warning missile above or near an intended target, to give residents time to flee before the real strike," The Jerusalem Post said on Tuesday.
A UN commission concluded in 2015, the report added, that the roof knock tactic was ineffective because it often caused confusion and did not allow residents a sufficient amount of time to escape.
