After Hamas carried out the worst attack on Israel in 50 years — killing more than 800 Israelis, wounding 2,000, and kidnapping 100 — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to take “mighty vengeance.”
“The Air Force is now launching an extensive attack on many centers of the terrorist organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip,” the branch wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

“Even at this time, the Air Force continues to attack dozens of targets of the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip,” the air force posted minutes later.
“We will not stop until peace is achieved for all residents of the State of Israel.”
Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant ordered a “complete siege” of the Gaza Strip.
“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba.
“We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” he said.
