IDF Says War in Gaza Approaching
(Times of Israel) Michael Bachner and Judah Ari Gross - A senior IDF officer warned Thursday that Israel was nearing a full-blown military confrontation in Gaza after hundreds of rockets were launched overnight by Palestinian terror groups. "We are rapidly nearing a confrontation. Hamas is making serious mistakes, and we may have to make it clear after four years that this path doesn't yield any results for it and isn't worth it." "We are ready to continue attacking, attacking and attacking. Our strikes deeply affect Hamas. It would be better off returning to the understandings reached after Operation Protective Edge [in 2014]." A woman who was seriously injured in the Palestinian rocket attacks was a 30-year-old foreign worker from Thailand. U.S. Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt tweeted: "Another night of terror & families huddling in fear as Israel defends itself. This is the Hamas regime's choice. Hamas is subjecting people to the terrifying conditions of war again."
