In a recent development, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched an airstrike on the Nur Shams Palestinian refugee camp in the West Bank. The IDF’s press service reported the strike on their Telegram channel.
According to the IDF, the strike targeted an armed terrorist group that posed a threat to the security of their military personnel conducting a ground operation in the camp. The attack resulted in the elimination of several militants, as stated in the IDF’s message.
Prior to this incident, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant had promised an unprecedented response that would be remembered for 50 years in the Gaza Strip.
On October 7th, the Hamas movement launched thousands of rockets into Israeli territory, declaring the start of the “Flood of Al-Aqsa” operation. Thousands of militants infiltrated Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military vehicles and over a hundred hostages. Against this backdrop, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country was in a state of war.
The Israeli Defense Forces’ retaliatory operation, named “Operation Iron Swords,” aims to destroy Hamas. The Israeli Air Force conducted strikes on hundreds of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, while the Israeli National Security Council decided to halt the supply of water, food, goods, electricity, and fuel to the region.
Earlier, Russia speculated about the possible timeline for the conclusion of the Israeli-Hamas conflict.
