The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported Thursday that it had conducted an airstrike on an intelligence headquarters used by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in Gaza, killing “dozens” of other terrorist operatives who were inside the building.
The Times of Israel reported: The Israel Defense Forces says it just conducted an airstrike on a Hamas intelligence facility with dozens of terrorist operatives inside.
The military says the site served as the main command center for its surveillance network.
It is not immediately clear how many Hamas members are killed in the strike.
The Israel military released video of the apparent attack:

The Jerusalem Post added:
Dozens of Hamas operatives were eliminated on Thursday in several targeted attacks on Hamas compounds throughout the Gaza Strip.
The IDF destroyed the terror group’s central bank and internal security headquarters, as well as the home of a top Hamas commander. They also eliminated dozens in an attack on a Hamas intelligence complex.
The IDF plans a ground invasion of Gaza to root out Hamas terrorists and weapons in the coming days. According to the Times of Israel, an IDF spokesman said: “We are gathering forces on the Gaza border, preparing them. They are studying the field and we will use them when we decide to. … The initiative is ours and time is on our side.”
The Post reported that the Israeli military had called up 7,000 reservists, and artillery and military vehicles have begun to mobilize at the border with Gaza.
Meanwhile, Hamas continued to fire rockets at Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv. Terrorists also launched drones at Israeli communities in southern Israel.

Brother Beave, here am I,
Yesterday, my colleague and a guy I served with in Lebanon during the 80s (he lives between Tel Aviv and Gaza) was pretty worried about his youngest son, a soldier in the Golani unit, who told him he had been sent to Gaza for an invasion. My friend knows that this is necessary, but his middle son had been severely injured in Gaza about 2 years ago (RPG hit) and so he's on edge about anything having to do with his kids and Gaza. Still, as someone who lives on the flight path of Gaza rockets, he knows they have to be dealt with.
This morning, I got a message saying, in effect, that there was no invasion of Gaza. Even the soldiers thought they were going in and told their families, and social media was full of reports of an invasion, but it was meant to lure Hamas leaders and fighters into the tunnels that Israel had been mapping extensively. The military knows that the tunnels are reserved for Hamas, so it was a way to get the rats all in one place for extermination without putting non-combatants in the line of fire. Once the rats were in their tunnels, the air force, as my friend wrote, "bombed the living f*ck out of Hamas" and the ground soldiers were sent back to their bases.
I loathe Twitter and the rest of social media, but in this case, thank goodness for Twitter.
