52 military planes drop 122 bombs in 25 minutes

The IDF says Israeli military aircraft dropped 122 bombs on the Hamas tunnel network on the night of the 18th, the Times of Israel reports.

IDF spokesman Hilde Zilberman said the military conducted another phase of systematic strikes on Hamas’ tunnel network in the Gaza Strip last night.

Zilberman told reporters that around 10 p.m., 52 air force planes dropped 122 bombs in 25 minutes on some 40 underground targets that are part of the so-called “subway” tunnels that span 12 kilometers. The targets included weapons storage sites and a command center.

He estimated that at least 10 members of the Hamas terrorist organization and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement were killed.

He said the attacks were concentrated in Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip and that most of the rockets were fired from Israeli cities.

Regarding Hamas’ claim that it has been targeting air bases, Zilberman said, “They are trying, but they are not hitting. “
