Former Israeli National Security Adviser Yaakov Amidror said on Wednesday that the only way Israel will be able to completely stop the rocket fire from Gaza is for the IDF to retake the region. “We’ve never had a crushing blow that hurt the other side’s the ability to launch missiles,” Amidror told Channel 10 News, […]
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit has released a video depicting Tuesday’s gunfight between four Hamas terrorists who breached the Gaza security border and IDF soldiers.

Seventy thousand Gazans from Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah were in the dark Sunday night after a Hamas rocket hit the power line that supplies electricity to those places.

The facts are not in dispute. Israel accepted a ceasefire in the morning and suspended all military operations against Gaza.
