IDF spokesman Ronen Manelis says that Israel “will not allow” the continued firing of rockets from in Gaza toward Israel, and says the strikes on terrorist positions in the Strip “will intensify as needed.”
“We won’t allow the fire to continue, we are prepared for every scenario,” he tells reporters outside the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv. “What we saw today is a severe terror attack, that’s how we are treating it. Hamas fired dozens of missiles and we have no intention of allowing it to continue.”
Manelis says Israel struck training camps, weapons storehouses, and one attack tunnel belonging to Hamas or the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The Israeli strikes, Manelis says, “will continue to intensify if this continues.”
“The terrorists know what assets they lost today,” he adds. “Senior officials are hiding because they know our capabilities.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
