"The IDF strikes with an iron fist at the terror infrastructure," said the Israeli defense minister. Netanyahu confirms: Israel began a major, intensified operation yesterday in Gaza.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday that “Gaza is burning” as the Israel Defense Forces confirmed that it had started broader operations to destroy Hamas terror infrastructure in Gaza City.
Jerusalem “will not relent and we will not turn back until the mission is complete,” the defense minister declared.
“Gaza is burning,” Katz said. “The IDF strikes with an iron fist at the terror infrastructure, and IDF soldiers fight with courage to create the conditions for the release of the hostages and the defeat of Hamas.”
IDF says the goal is to “destroy Hamas infrastructure until the organization collapses.” Divisions 162 and 98 are maneuvering deep into Gaza City to encircle the city.
