IDF attacks Hamas metro
2021-05-14
[Arutz-7] - An IDF spokesman said that on Wednesday night, more than 160 IAF fighter jets from 12 different squadrons attacked approximately 150 underground infrastructure targets in northern Gaza.

Simultaneous to the air force attacks, infantry, artillery and armored forces deployed along the border fired hundreds of artillery shells and dozens of tank shells at targets in Gaza.

The strike dealt a heavy blow to Hamas' underground tunnels, destroying many kilometres of tunneling infrastructure.

"Tonight we carried out an integrated air and ground attack, with over 160 planes from six bases," Brigadier-General Hadi Zilberman said. According to him, the massive attack began at midnight and 450 munitions were aimed at 150 targets within a span of 35 minutes.
I bet that was exciting. "Hudna!"

That’s even cuter than nanobot golden retrievers, g(r)omgoru. Mr. Wife, however, points out that they would definitely be overcompensating for being very, very small giants —> angry golemites with attitude.

Now I want a set even more!

#6  I can definitely live with destroying many kilometres of Hamas tunneling infrastructure. Clearly being underground has not hidden any of it from Israel’s ken — one wonders how long ago they had the whole thing mapped out. The entire tunnel effort is looking more like an underground Maginot Line than the evil genius move they and Iran’s Mad Mullahs assumed it to be.
