Even as Israel was destroying its symbols of power in Gaza, Hamas on Sunday broadcast a morning television program celebrating the rocket attacks on southern Israel that led to the harsh Israeli military response.

Palestinian Media Watch reported that Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV awkwardly juxtaposed propaganda portraying the Palestinians as victims of unjustified Israeli aggression with scenes hailing Gaza-based Hamas terrorists as heroic killers of Israelis.

The broadcast featured pictures of Hamas terrorists firing rockets at Israeli communities, followed by pictures of injured Israelis being evacuated by medical crews.

Captions read "Let them taste violent death" and "Send them to Hell! Tear them to pieces!" and were illustrated with pictures of skulls dripping with blood.
