Israel said Thursday that five “projectiles” were launched from Rafah toward civilian communities near Gaza, but were intercepted by the Iron Dome and Israel’s aerial defense system.
The Israeli Air Force (IAF) said it eliminated the terrorists who carried out the launches, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) adding “Hamas continues to pose a threat to Gazan civilians in Rafah. We will continue operating in the area to eliminate the threat of this terrorist organization.”
Israel’s Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant said Israeli forces have killed or wounded 60% of Hamas terrorists since the start of the war in Gaza, which began Oct. 7 when the terror group conducted a surprise attack on Israel, killing an estimated 1,200 people and taking more than 200 hostages.
Nine months later, the war continues and more than 100 of the hostages remain in captivity.
Gallant also said that the IDF operating in Gaza has created a “limited window of opportunity” for Israel to pursue a ceasefire and hostage release deal with Hamas.
This comes as Hezbollah in Lebanon continues its near daily attacks on northern Israel, one of which killed two Israeli civilians earlier this week.

    The Iranians don’t want a war? Then how do you explain why the war today is happening, 100% fueled, supplied, and supported in every other way by Iran? Iran wants a war, they just don’t want it on their soil or fought by Iranians. They want it in Israel, as it is today, fought by their surrogate militias. They more than just want the war, but they don’t want to suffer any direct consequences.

    Why would Israel want to have a ceasefire? Shouldn’t they keep going until they destroy Hamas?
  • @realme91266
    I don't know why the whole world is turning blind eyes on Hamas
  • @trabyelxab8199
    My opinion. If nobody wants a war, then leave Israel alone, word.

    How many civilians? Is this number from the idf? They would never lie about it
  • @frua97
    Young Gazan men who are desperate... for what? Money? "Activities in a difficult situation?" No, they like what Hamas represents and want to continue the war. Be honest.
  • @RestieBogere
    Why not demand for immediate release of hostages as first priority? The world seems to have forgotten that Hamas started this war! Did anyone expect Israel to just look on silently with her arms folded? Does the international community perceived to live under constant existential threat as does ISRAEL? Did the international community hear the most recent Iranian threats to Israel and Cyprus????
