we need to take back total control over Gaza, prevent residential return!
Earlier the IDF said all border area communities have been cleared of terrorists after heavy fighting there since Saturday, with more infiltrations reported in the days following. According to the military, some 300,000 reservists have already been called up to join the fighting.
A heavy barrage of Hamas rockets was launched to central Israel including the Sharon planes and to Jerusalem and its surroundings on Monday while the south had come under fire all morning.
The IDF said early on Monday that troops were still engaged in gunfights in six locations along the Gaza border and that some 80 terrorists have been apprehended. The military also released the names of a further 16 fatalities.
The Israeli Air Force carried a series of massive airstrikes on the Gaza Strip overnight Monday, on 800 Hamas targets, dropping hundreds of tons of bombs on terrorist infrastructure throughout the Palestinian enclave after a Hamas invasion of Israel left hundreds dead and thousands wounded.
The strikes are focused mainly on Gaza City's Shejaiya neighborhood, which has been a focal point of Hamas activity. Gaza's Beit Hanoun was also reportedly facing heavy bombardments.
Footage published by the AFP news agency shows a strong explosion followed by secondary blasts, likely resulting from weaponry that was presumably located at the impacted site.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said these air raids dealt a "significant blow" to Hamas's capabilities. According to a statement, the IDF attacked a building housing Hamas operatives and several operational headquarters of the terrorist organization, including a headquarters spanning three floors and another affiliated with a senior figure in Hamas's naval force, Mohammad Kashta.
Further reports indicated that an operational asset utilized by Hamas, situated within a mosque in the Jabalia area, an asset employed for the organization's intelligence and another asset used to coordinate terror activities, were destroyed.
Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs wrote on X that "The first Gaza war is also planned to be the last.”
[…] Rocket fire from Gaza continued shortly after midnight Monday, with the military wing of Hamas claiming that it fired 100 rockets toward the southern city of Ashkelon.
[…] Shortly beforehand, Gaza terrorists also fired a rocket salvo into central Israel, mainly targeting the Rishon Lezion area. Blasts were heard in Tel Aviv. After a 5-hour lull, rocket fire resumed Monday morning, targeting Gaza border communities.
The United Arab Emirates on Sunday described attacks carried out by Palestinian terrorist faction Hamas against Israeli towns as a "serious and grave escalation."
The UAE foreign ministry in a statement also said it was "appalled" by reports Israeli civilians were taken as hostages from their homes.
