IAF officer says Israel might strike more Hamas officials

After Israel killed a number of senior Hamas military and financial chiefs over the past week, a senior Israeli Air Force officer says, “We are focusing on a defensive effort, locating and gathering intelligence, and in the offensive effort there is a continuation of the attempts to kill senior officials, and we are continuing to close in on senior officials who I think we can reach.”

He also says Israel has stepped up its operations against mortar launchers.
