WhatsappAfter Arab terrorists fired 449 rockets into Israel, the IDF struck back heavily at Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip.
Today’s rocket barrages targeted Tel Aviv and for the first time, Israel used David’s Sling operationally – successfully. While there is a tense calm, fighting is expected to continue with even Hamas prepared to join the fighting if need be.
While 10,000 reservists were called up, no troops are expected to enter the Gaza Strip at this stage.
Egypt is trying to broker a ceasefire, but so far there has been no commitment with more rockets expected after midnight and into the early morning hours.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said in a press conference, “We hope to bring this to a quick close, but we are ready if it is prolonged.” “A situation in which Israeli children are hurt is not acceptable to me and I won’t permit it. We’ll respond to any situation like this,” Gallant continued.
