Arabs assess the damage caused to the Hamas Islamic National Bank in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, May 13, 2021.
IDF spokesman Hidai Zilberman announced on Friday morning that 160 Air Force warplanes simultaneously attacked 150 targets in the Gaza Strip within 40 minutes and fired 450 missiles. At the same time, Golani infantry forces, together with armored and artillery units, spread along the Gaza border fence and fired at the Strip, firing 500 artillery shells and 50 armor shells. This was the most extensive attack since the beginning of the operation.
“We also hit the Hamas’ subway city underneath Gaza City,” said Zilberman and explained that “These tunnels are a strategic asset of Hamas, and years of work and money have been invested there.”
Arab sources reported shortly before 5 AM about an Israeli attack in the west of Gaza City and the Rafah area in the southern Gaza Strip. The Gaza Ministry of Health updated the number of deaths in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the new hostilities to 24, including 9 children. 103 were injured.
The Al-Araby Al-Jadeed pan-Arab newspaper headquartered in London reported that Hamas had sent a message to Egypt that if Israel did not comply with its demands regarding Jerusalem, the release of detained rioters, and the withdrawal of security forces from al-Aqsa, the terror group would employ a new type of rocket, with a higher precision capability, which has not been used in the Strip so far.
