Summary of last night in #Gaza & #Israel:
- 190 rockets fired towards #Israel from 19:00 to 07:00 this morning
- #Israel launched major air and ground strike using 180 planes plus 7th Armored brigade. Strikes focused on northern #Gaza, including tunnels network.
>>
- Hamas-run Health Ministry reported 119 dead, including 31 children, 830 wounded. #Israeli claims would suggest most of the dead are fighters, which might have been true before, but also true that recent artillery strikes seem to have caused far more civilian casualties.
- Rocket barrages against #Israel focused on southern #Israel. No barrage against central region.
- Does this mean #Hamas and PIJ arsenal has been seriously hit (as IDF claims) or that they are now pacing themselves understanding conflict will be more protracted than expected?>

IDF spokesperson released a video of one of these drones being intercepted
There are some evident similarities with Iranian made drones (to no one's surprise)

Israeli airstrikes reported east of Gaza city and in the Ma'an neighborhood of Khan Yunis moments ago. Artillery strikes also reported east of Juhr al-Dik in central #Gaza
With regards to rocket attacks against #Israel, situation is actually quiet now and has been for the past two hours (but this is often the calm before the storm).
Here is an important factor people are not necessarily aware of:

Hamas, PIJ pre-place rocket launchers across the Strip to avoid having to set them up under Israeli fire. >>
