Roof knocking
Roof knocking is the equivalent of a warning shot for aerial bombing and the practice of warning inhabitants of a building before it is bombed to give the inhabitants time to flee the attack. The practice has been invented and used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) before attacking buildings that they suspect contain weapons.〔 (Archived version 2009-01-29 )〕〔 (Archived version 2009-01-29 )〕 The term "roof knocking" (〔 (Archived version 2009-01-29 )〕) or "knock on the roof" has also been used to describe the IDF practice of firing a non-explosive or low-yield device at a roof to get people there to leave.〔
==History==
After the Israeli disengagement from Gaza, when making arrests on the ground were close to impossible, IDF started using destruction of military infrastructure as deterrent to not attack Israeli targets. The IDF sought a method to minimize harm to Gaza civilians. As early as 2006 the IDF had the practice of warning the inhabitants of a building that was about to be attacked.〔 (Archived version 2009-01-29 )〕 Roof knocking was used during the 2008–2009 Gaza War, Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012, and Operation Protective Edge in 2014. In the six months prior to its use, Israel collected data on Hamas members, which they used to issue warnings. Typically, Israeli intelligence officers and Shin Bet security servicemen contacted residents of a building in which they suspected storage of military assets and told them that they had 10–15 minutes to flee the attack,〔〔 (Archived version 2009-01-29 )〕〔 (Archived version 2009-01-29 )〕 although in some cases the delay has been as little as five minutes.
The Israeli Government reported that the warning systems were not perfect but still highly effective. Aerial video surveillance by IDF forces confirmed many times the departure of civilians from targeted areas prior to an attack, as a direct result of the warnings.〔 (Archived version 2009-09-06 )〕
In November 2014 the most senior US military official, General Martin Dempsey, said Israel "did some extraordinary things to limit civilian casualties" during Operation Protective Edge. He gave Roof Knocking as an example to efforts by Israel to minimize Civilian casualties in Gaza.
