Israel Bombing Gaza
Israeli artillery continued its relentless bombardment of concealed targets, bombing Gaza, and firing munitions every 30 seconds.
Since launching strikes against Hamas targets on Saturday, around 6,000 munitions, carrying a total of 4,000 tonnes of explosives, have been unleashed upon Gaza.
The total death toll on both sides exceeded 3,000, deepening the humanitarian crisis.
Positioned along the border near Netivot and Sderot, Israeli troops have deployed 150 mm artillery guns at close intervals. These towns were recently overrun by Hamas during a weekend offensive.
Netivot and Sderot, situated on the Gaza border, are frequently subjected to rocket attacks from the densely populated enclave.
To prevent Palestinian fighters from infiltrating southern Israel, roadblocks have been established, while Apache helicopter gunships patrol the skies.
In another recent development, Syrian state media reported that Israeli forces launched missile strikes on Syria’s major international airports, causing runway damage at Damascus and Aleppo airports. Flights are being redirected to Latakia, a city in north-west Syria. Israel has not officially commented on the attack, but it has previously targeted sites in war-torn Syria linked to Iran.
Both Damascus and Aleppo airports serve both civilian and military purposes, with the latter reportedly serving as a transit point for Iranian arms destined for Hezbollah, a formidable militant group in Syria and Lebanon.
An unnamed military source cited by Syrian state media described the Israeli strikes as “simultaneous” and stated that they had “damaged landing strips at the two airports, rendering them inoperative.” The source suggested that this action was a “desperate” Israeli attempt to divert attention from the Gaza conflict.
Earlier, a journalist showed large-scale destruction in Gaza in the wake of Israeli attacks.

Meanwhile, Hamas has released a video depicting the liberation of an Israeli woman and her children amid the ongoing Israeli blockade of Gaza. The footage was shot from a distance to ensure the anonymity of the woman and her children.
