Hamas Terrorists Targeted in Gaza Operation


(Ha'aretz) Ze'ev Schiff - During the course of the military operation in the northern Gaza Strip, using precise fire and its intelligence supremacy, the IDF is striving to increase the number of fatalities among the Hamas men. Taking control over the northeastern part of the Gaza Strip isn't enough to stop Hamas from launching rockets. Therefore, the IDF is making an effort to up the fatalities sustained by Hamas. Hamas is believed to be in possession of 100-200 Kassam rockets with a range of 8 km. It is highly likely that a large number of Kassam rocket production workshops have been moved into underground structures. If the entire rocket production infrastructure isn't toppled, including the engineers, technicians, and chemists, it's only a matter of time before Hamas manages to increase the range of the rockets and then be able to fire them from deeper inside the Gaza Strip.
