IDF chief Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot warns terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip to refrain from retaliating against the army’s destruction of an attack tunnel that entered Israeli territory from the southern Strip the day before.
“Any response or violation of Israeli sovereignty will be answered with determination and in a forceful and clear way, as we did yesterday,” the army chief says during a meeting with senior officers near the Gaza border.
At least seven Palestinians were killed, including two senior terrorist commanders, and another 12 were injured on Monday when the Israeli army blew up an attack tunnel stretching from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory, the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said, in the deadliest incident in the coastal enclave since the 2014 Gaza war.
Eisenkot adds that the military was not resting on its laurels after the demolition and was “maintaining its preparedness” and “closely monitoring what is happening among terror officials in the Gaza Strip.”
