The Israeli military unleashed a series of precision airstrikes on the Gaza Strip early Monday morning, destroying nine miles of terrorist tunnels and the homes of Hamas commanders.
The latest attacks killed a local Gaza leader of the Islamic Jihad militant group, according to the Israeli military, which blamed him for some of the thousands of terror rocket attacks launched at Israel and now entering their second week.
AP reports Gaza’s mayor, Yahya Sarraj, told Al-Jazeera TV the strikes had caused extensive damage to roads and other infrastructure. “If the aggression continues we expect conditions to become worse,” he said.
“Senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander Hassam Abu-Arbid was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the northern Gaza Strip Monday afternoon as rockets fired from the blockaded enclave continued to be fired towards southern Israel communities,” the Jerusalem Post reported.
“The IDF said that Abu-Arbid, was killed in a joint operation with the Shin Bet intelligence services, commanded over the northern Gaza Strip brigade of the terror organization and was behind the launching of rockets and anti-tank guided missiles towards Israel.”
The IDF also struck a warehouse containing weapons that was located in the home of a Hamas terrorist and also targeted a naval weapons warehouse belonging to Hamas.

This is a beautiful story.

War is hell. As the ol sayin goes, “Start nuttin, be nuttin”.
I’m getting all misty-eyed and shit.
Seems kinda odd to destroy tunnels from the air.
That’s the thing about tunnels, they are stationary targets and not exactly the place you want to hide from an enemy with advanced weaponry and the intelligence resources to flatten them with instant coordinated bombs designed for that purpose.
When you have a stockpile of old French Durandal boππ8$, and you have this —
All that is left is “practice makes perfect!”
Ultimately, living side by side or adjacent to a truly evil enemy, which worship the moon god, rape children, and only wants you dead - leaves your cities, towns, villages defenseless.
I heard a radio news report that Israel was destroying homes in Gaza. No reference to them being homes of Hamas commanders. Leaving out that critical info completely changes the story.
Nothing like gathering precise info about your enemy during times of stand downs and then putting that info into use.
Hey Hamas, haven’t you learned by now it’s folly to mess with God’s chosen people?
Y’all must be true dumbasses to continue this folly.

“Israel’s arms designers developed a new kind of bomb especially tailored for surgically wiping out that underground network, section by section, with the least possible collateral damage.”
“On Sunday night, 110 of those bombs were put to work for a third attack on that network, destroying 15km of tunnels in 20 minutes. An unknown number of Palestinian combatants and commanders found their safe shelter had become a death trap.”
Hamas external leaders are pushing for more violence and riots to get Israel to accede to Palestinian Muslim demands in Jerusalem.
I would think most of the senior Hamas leadership would be living in Paris.
:) Thanks.
Hamas cares every bit as much about the welfare of Palestinians as the democrats care about Americans.
Saved ‘em the cost of a burial.
