Hamas TV Blooper: Erotic Footage During Night Shift WARNING: Clip Contains Nudity

The following excerpt was broadcast on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV on January 7, 2009 at 3:00 am. Presumably, the Hamas technician on duty got bored with the live image of Gaza at night, and decided to view other satellite channels, focusing on the Polish erotic channel Patio TV.  What he did not realize was that the images were being aired live on Al-Aqsa TV. This went on for about six minutes, the image of Gaza at night was then restored.

WARNING: This clip contains nudity.
