Israeli forces released footage of airstrikes that killed two top Islamic terrorists in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, an operation with wide Israeli support.
Despite ongoing political division in Israel, Tuesday's strikes found a wide base of support in the Israeli Knesset. Opposition leader Yair Lapid praised the move in a Tuesday statement.
The Palestinian Health Ministry stated that 13 people were killed in the various strikes, including three women and four children. Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid expressed his support for airstrikes that killed three senior terrorist leaders in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.Lapid will receive a security briefing on the strikes from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday.
"Last night, we began Operation Shield and Arrow. In a joint IDF-ISA effort, three senior Islamic Jihad terrorists in the Gaza Strip were eliminated. These arch-murderers were responsible for firing rockets from the Gaza Strip at our territory and for directing terrorism from Judea and Samaria against our citizens," he said."Our principle is clear: Whoever harms us – we will strike at them and with great force.
