It has been well over 100 hours since a brutal terrorist attack by Hamas killed over 1300 people in Israel.
In retaliation, Israel declared war with Hamas and has been bombing terrorist infrastructure in Gaza. Israel has vowed to avenge the brutal murder of its citizens by Hamas terrorists on 7th October.
Israel’s retaliatory attack on Hamas in Gaza has reached the 6th day. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) in its daily briefing has said that it is attacking the second layer of the Gaza Strip which is the underground tunnels dug by Hamas for the terrorists to travel across Gaza amid Israeli strikes.
