Hagari said that the Navy's elite Shayetet 13 commando unit and the 401st Armored Brigade have raided Gaza City's Rantisi Hospital, which treats children, and that Hamas operatives were hiding there.
The IDF explained that the area is the core of the intelligence and operational activities of the terrorist organization Hamas and was used, among other things, to plan and prepare its forces for the murderous attack it carried out on October 7.
"Over the last day, IDF fighter jets struck over 450 Hamas targets, including tunnels, terrorists, military compounds, observation posts, anti-tank missile launch posts and more," the IDF said in a statement on Monday.
The Israeli military has fully encircled Gaza City and is carrying out widespread air strikes on Hamas targets, said Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari on Sunday night.
"Take this (word 'ceasefire') out of the lexicon. We will continue until we defeat them; we do not have an alternative," Netanyahu is quoted saying in a statement from his office.
