War in Israel
On October 7, HAMAS attacked Israel. The terrorists killed and kidnapped both military personnel and civilians. In particular, Israel was regularly shelled from the Gaza Strip. Jerusalem, in response, initiated an operation against the terrorists.
Yesterday, October 27, IDF representative Daniel Haggari announced the start of offensive operations in the Gaza sector. Following this, the Israeli Armed Forces began striking the territory.
Today, October 28, it became known about the elimination of the leader of the HAMAS air group, Asem Abu Rakab. The IDF released a video of the airstrike.
