Oh I'm sorry... I presented an opinion that hey I came to myself as well. But from watching the specific video... on many sites including the IDF website I find it hard to believe that they could have concluded that this was indeed a Kassam rocket being loaded into the UN vehicle... physically it just doesn't work - the known base characteristics for the weapons don't gel with the motion of the individual nor nor do they conform to the object that he loads into the back of the vehicle.
Now playing devils advocate it is also concievable that a Kassam 1 could be concealed within a folded up stretcher... but the militants switched from using it nearly 3 years ago with the developement of the Kassam 2 and 3... because quite frankly it range and payload make it a very ineffective indirect fire weapon. So yes the remote possiblity exists that there could have been a concealed Kassam 1 involved.. again you wouldn't be able to see it in any video footage as the stretcher would totally conceal the object; so why would the IDF claim that the footage showed a Kassam missile being loaded into the UN vehicle? The images and the story just don't add up right now.
