The Israel Defense Forces stated that In the Gaza Strip, ten targets associated with Hamas were hit. First of all, the attack was carried out on the intelligence headquarters and military complex, which was used by the air forces of the radicals. They also hit two banks associated with the radical movement.
It is noted that military facilities were located in residential buildings. Therefore, we had to strike at them. The attack on the banks was explained by the fact that they were helping to raise funds for terrorist activities.
Recall that the day before an unprecedented attack was carried out on Israel. Hamas militants fired at least 2 thousand rockets at cities across the country. In addition, they entered border settlements, captured a number of checkpoints, where they burned equipment. As a result, about 300 Israelis died. Over 1,800 were injured. In response, Israel launched a retaliation operation.
