The Occupation launches air and ground attacks on Hamas sites in the Gaza Strip

The Israeli army and the Shin Bet General Security Service announced, in a joint statement issued on Friday, the implementation of a series of air and ground attacks targeting sites of the "Hamas" movement in the Gaza Strip, in response to what the statement described as a "failed launch operation" carried out on Thursday towards Tel Aviv.

The occupation army's statement clarified that the attacks targeted "armed elements and infrastructure" belonging to the Hamas movement in both the southern and northern Gaza Strip.

The target bank - according to the occupation's narrative - included targeting a number of the movement's activists, in addition to bombing rocket launch sites and additional military infrastructure.

In a sharp political message, the occupation army considered the firing of rockets from Gaza to constitute a "flagrant violation of the existing ceasefire agreement," holding Palestinian factions responsible for this breach.

The statement stressed that the Israeli security establishment views any violation of the agreement "with extreme seriousness," vowing that the army and Shin Bet "will continue to act against any attempt by organizations in Gaza to carry out plans against army forces and citizens of Israel."
