The military says aircraft are continuing to pound the Gaza Strip at this time in order to “devastate the capabilities of the Hamas terror group.”
Among the targets hit in recent hours were several command posts; a building housing Hamas operatives; a command center used by a senior official in Hamas’s naval forces; an “operational asset used by Hamas” located within a mosque in Jabaliya; and an asset used by the terror group for intelligence.
Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs: ‘The First Gaza War is planned to be the last one’
Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs tweets: “The First Gaza War is planned to be the last one as well!”
(Though there have been numerous brutal conflicts between Israel and the Strip, Fuchs appears to be signaling a different scale of battle, as Israel never before officially declared a state of war against Gaza as it has now.)
Fuchs relates his meeting with his late grandfather after the 9/11 attacks in 2001, in which the latter told him “If al-Qaeda managed to carry out such an attack, they’ll take over the world.”
“I calmed him and told him it was a wake-up call and that such terror would be defeated.”
