🚨After over 8 hours of quiet, sirens are sounding in southern Israel once again.
227
Hamas chooses to hide among civilians as it carries out attacks against Israel.
This choice does not grant Hamas terrorists immunity from IDF strikes.
We will continue to operate in order to defend the people of Israel.

IDF troops just revealed an underground terror tunnel dug from Gaza into Israel.
How’d we find it?
While building an underground security barrier.
Why are we building an underground barrier?
To stop Gaza terrorists from digging tunnels into Israel.
Guess it's working 🤷🏻♂

We warned civilians in the building about our strike out of concern for their safety & gave them enough time to safely evacuate.
Hamas & Islamic Jihad used this time to take items out of the building. We were willing to pay that price to not harm any civilians.

242
Hamas announced that it will fire rockets at Tel Aviv at midnight.
The threat to target a city—to terrorize a population—is itself a violation of international law. If Hamas carries out its threat, it will be violating international law again by targeting civilians.
