Gaza Under Siege: IDF Launches Massive Retaliation
Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) launched a large-scale operation against Hamas targets in Gaza on August 3, 2025. Over 130 sites were struck, resulting in significant damage to Hamas infrastructure.
The Jerusalem Post reported that a senior Hamas commander was killed in the strikes. Intelligence played a crucial role in targeting these locations.
IDF ground troops were also deployed, engaging in close-quarters combat with Hamas fighters. The operation aims to dismantle Hamas’s extensive underground tunnel network and broader military capabilities.
The ongoing conflict raises serious concerns about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the potential for further escalation. The international community is closely watching developments, urging restraint and a swift resolution to minimise civilian casualties. The long-term implications for regional stability remain a pressing concern.
