Jerusalem, Oct 21: The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it struck Hamas snipers and observation posts inside multistory buildings.
“Overnight, IDF fighter jets continued to strike a large number of Hamas terror targets throughout the Gaza Strip.
Among these terror targets were operational command centres, anti-tank missile launchers, and strategic Hamas infrastructure used for terror purposes,” the IDF said.
“Furthermore, the IDF struck Hamas anti-tank missile, sniper, and observation posts located inside multi-storey buildings,” it said.
On October 7, Hamas launched a surprise large-scale rocket attack against Israel from the Gaza Strip and breached the border, killing and abducting people in neighbouring Israeli communities.
Israel launched retaliatory strikes and ordered a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip, home to more than 2 million people, cutting off supplies of water, food, and fuel.
Thousands of deaths and injuries have been reported on both sides as a result of the escalation.
