Israel returned to war overnight and launched extensive attacks on multiple targets throughout Gaza – where Palestinian sources reported dozens of casualties.
The IDF has placed Hamas military wing senior officials, mid-level commanders, and terror infrastructure firmly in its crosshairs. The current offensive, which primarily consists of airstrikes, is expected to expand to include ground operations in areas where such actions are deemed necessary.
The Israeli Air Force conducted multiple precision strikes overnight, with Arab media networks broadcasting footage showing substantial destruction in targeted areas.
In anticipation of possible retaliation, the IDF had already prepared defensive systems along the borders and activated Iron Dome batteries. As of Tuesday morning, no rockets or missiles have been fired from Gaza toward Israeli territory.
Military sources revealed that the plan to resume hostilities was developed and kept highly classified to create an element of surprise and tactical deception that Hamas was unprepared to counter.
