“Thanks to your heroic action, you will have the right to change reality here. You will see the transformation. Hamas wanted change, and it will change 180 degrees from what they thought. They will regret that moment: Gaza will never be what it wasGallant promised.

The death toll in the surprise attack that Hamas, the Islamic organization that dominates Gaza, launched last Saturday against several cities near the Strip, exceeds 900 dead and 2,400 injured, half a thousand of them seriously.
On the Palestinian side, Israeli aerial bombings cost the lives of 830 Gazans, many of them civilians, according to Gaza authorities.
In addition to this, around 1,500 Hamas militiamen died during the attack or in subsequent fighting on Israeli territory, according to the count of the Israeli army, which this morning regained control of the area.
Gaza residents told EFE that the aerial bombardments carried out since yesterday are very different from those usual in previous clashes, as they are much more destructive and are launched without the prior warning that was common in Israeli operations in the past.
