Israel Strikes Terror Targets in Gaza
(IDF Spokesperson) There have been incessant rocket attacks from Gaza. More than 700 have struck Israel since the beginning of the year, and more than 120 since Saturday. In response, the IDF has launched a widespread campaign against terror targets in Gaza. Operation "Pillar of Defense" has two main goals: to protect Israeli civilians and to cripple the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza. The IDF targeted Ahmed Jabari, the head of Hamas' military wing in Gaza, who was directly responsible for executing terror attacks against Israel. In subsequent air strikes, the IDF seriously damaged Hamas' long-range missile capabilities and underground weapons storage facilities.
