According to a report, fifty rockets were fired at Israel from Gaza on Tuesday morning. Reportedly, according to the hamas run health ministry the palestinian death toll has exceeded 24,285.
According to a report, Israel’s defence minister said on Monday that its forces are ending the intensive phase of its ground operation in northern Gaza where they located 100 rocket launches and fought hamas gun men; and will soon end the intensive ground operation in the Khan Younis region of southern Gaza. Reportedly, he said Israel will now work to eliminate pockets of resistance which he hopes will be achieved via raids, air strikes and special operations. Israel’s vision of a Gaza being administered by the palestinian authority with an israeli military presence is similar to what is happening in Samaria.
According to reports, on Monday hamas released a video announcing the death of two hostages, Yoshi Sharabi and Itay Svirsky who they claimed were killed in israeli airstrikes. Reportedly, Israel’s defence minister said the only way to get the hostages back home was to apply military pressure.
