Hamas is utilizing ISIS ways to sprint into Israeli communities and take captives again, stated a former Israel Defence Forces spokesperson on the land assaults by the Palestinian terror group into southern Israel.
“At least five different communities were attacked on the ground by terrorists. They were in pickup trucks, much like ISIS uses,” stated Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus.

Hamas on Saturday morning launched an aerial assault on Israel adopted by infiltration into the Israeli communities close to the border with Gaza. Visuals doing rounds on social media present armed males on pickup vans dashing via the border fences. Some movies additionally present Israeli captured residents on the vans. The Hamas have claimed to have taken 35 Israelis captive in Gaza.
“What I understand, and this is still unconfirmed information, is that Hamas breached the border and crossed into Israel from various locations and conducted coordinated attacks against multiple targets, multiple communities close to the border. At least five different communities were attacked on the ground by terrorists.”
“I have seen footage of motorcycles and other terrain vehicles and even of gliders coming in from the air. There are reports of assaults from the sea as well. So this is a multidimensional attack, ground, air, sea that Hamas has staged against Israel, and they are using the vehicles in order to take back bodies, whether dead or alive, of Israeli civilians….”
He warned that the incursion into Israel into would warrant a robust response from Israel.
“I cannot stress enough how unprecedented these attacks are, the magnitude, the audacity of these terrorists in their actions against Israel. This will generate a fierce response from the state of Israel, which I think will not be confined to the geographical area of Gaza alone.”
Israel declared a state of conflict on Hamas as quickly as studies of a full-blown assault emerged. The Israel Defence Forces launched the operation ‘Swords of Iron’ to struggle the shock assault.
