Aerial frontline footage has captured the moment bombs rained dow on the Hamas intelligence headquarters in a huge blow for the invaders of Israel.
Israel’s Air Force has released images of the daring nighttime retaliatory attack on Gaza.
It shows the terrorist HQ being blown up hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Gaza residents to “get out now”.
Battle tanks have also been pictured rolling towards the Gaza Strip ahead of a massive defensive assault by Israel.
The Hamas intelligence headquarters, a weapons production plant and two banks have been wiped out so far.
Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, carried out an unprecedented, multi-front attack on Israel at daybreak on Saturday.
Fighters infiltrated the heavily fortified border in several locations by air, land and sea, catching the country off-guard on a major Jewish holiday.
In northern Israel, a brief exchange of strikes with Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group raised fears of a broader conflict.
Netanyahu said on Sunday that his Security Cabinet has formally declared the country at war.
Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, said the White House is looking at additional requests for assistance that the Israelis have made.
He told CNN that President Biden’s “direction was to make sure that we’re providing Israel everything it needs in this moment to deal with the attacks from Hamas”.
Blinken, who gave interviews to multiple US television news shows Sunday, also talked about how the Hamas attack could have been motivated in part to derail an emerging diplomatic deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Blinken said: “It’s no surprise that those who are opposed to the talks, those who are opposed to Israel normalizing relations with its neighbors and the countries beyond the region are Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.
“And so it’s entirely possible that one of the motivations for this attack was to try to derail these efforts to advance normalization.”
He said Washington had seen reports that Americans were missing or had been killed and “we’re working overtime to verify that.”
