Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has directed the IDF to continue striking terror targets in Gaza.
“I just finished a situational assessment where I approved operational plans [for Gaza] with the defense minister, IDF chief of staff, the head of the National Security Council, the head of the Shin Bet, and the head of the Mossad.
“The directive is to continue to strike at terrorist targets. The IDF is doing well. Today, it eliminated another senior Islamic Jihad commander, hit a Hamas naval unit, and continues to strike at Hamas’s underground tunnel network along with other targets,” Netanyahu says in a statement.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urges Pope Francis to help rally the world to adopt sanctions against Israel for its “massacre” of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Erdogan told Pope Francis in a phone call that “Palestinians will continue to be subjected to a massacre unless the international community punishes Israel… with sanctions,” the Turkish presidency says.
The pope’s messages were of “great importance to mobilize the Christian world and the international community,” the Turkish statement adds.
The pope on Sunday said the loss of innocent lives in the violence was “terrible and unacceptable,” warning that the conflict risked “degenerating into a spiral of death and destruction.”
Erdogan, who has vocally championed the Palestinian cause during his 18-year rule, has spoken out repeatedly against Israel’s actions, accusing it of waging “terrorism” last week.
He told the pope on Monday that “all of humanity should be united against” Israel, his office says.
“The savagery caused by Israel threatens regional security,” he added.
