Now there is not a single Hamas commander who would have a place to return home. ”
During the current operation, the Israeli Air Force and Navy attacked 550 at various targets in the Gaza Strip. Objects destroyed include 60 missile launchers of extended-range missiles and a 31 tunnel. In addition, the command posts and houses of Islamic Jihad activists and the Hamas movement were attacked.

It is worth noting that due to the aggravation of the situation on the border of the Gaza Strip and Israel, the US Embassy in Tel Aviv ceased its work.
"In view of the current situation, the US Embassy in Tel Aviv will be closed on Thursday, 10 July," said the website of the US diplomatic mission, recommending using e-mail for appeals.
