Israel Military Regains Full Control Of Gaza Border: IDF
The Israel Defense Forces’ top spokesman, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagaristressed that the military has regained full control of the Gaza border after Hamas terrorists blew up sections of the border fence during the attack on Saturday, reported The Times of Israel. Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Tuesday said the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) is moving to “full offence” against Hamas targets as the counter-offensive in the wake of the terror attacks rages on.
In an address to troops deployed along the Gaza border, the Israeli Defence Minister said, “I have released all the restraints. We have [regained] control of the area and we are moving to a full offence.”
The fighter jets also struck a Hamas operational command center located inside a mosque, a command center used by the Hamas- Israeli Air Force Anti-Tank Missile Division operatives, and two additional operational residences.
Vowing to turn Hamas sites in Gaza to rubble, Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu compared the Hamas attacks to ISIS killings. “Hamas terrorists bound, burned and executed children. They are savages. Hamas is ISIS,” he said. Bombardment by Israeli forces on Tuesday hit the main exit point from the Palestinian region.
U.S. Defense Officials are reportedly considering the Deployment of a 2nd Carrier Strike Group into the Eastern Mediterranean near Israel; this Group will likely be led by the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) a Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carrier who has already been preparing for a Deployment to the CENTCOM/EUCOM Area-of-Operation for some time.
