On Saturday, Hamas brutally massacred over 700 Israelis.

The @IAFsite is conducting one of the largest air strikes ever against Hamas in Gaza to degrade and destroy their ability to terrorize the people of Israel.

Hamas launched a war. We will restore security to our country.
Between Saturday and Monday morning, over 1,200 targets were hit by Israeli aircraft across the Gaza Strip, including weapons storage and manufacturing sites, command and control centers, rocket launchers and more.

Today we doubled that number.
Israeli civilians are not Hamas’ only victim.
Hamas intentionally positions itself deep among Gaza's population.

For example…this terrorist site that the Israel Air Force targeted, located next to a mosque and just a football field away from a school. Image
