➡️Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz have instructed the IDF to act forcefully against the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip.

➡️This, after Hamas repeatedly refused to release our hostages and rejected all the offers it received from the US presidential envoy, Steve Witkoff, and from the mediators.

➡️The IDF is currently attacking targets of the Hamas terrorist organization throughout the Gaza Strip, with the aim of achieving the war goals as determined by the political echelon, including the release of all our hostages - living and dead.

➡️From now on, Israel will act against Hamas with increasing military force.

➡️The operational plan was presented late last week by the IDF and approved by the political echelon.

All targets were residential homes.
