Irked with the attack, Israel immediately carried out a massive air and artillery bombardment of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, killing about 687 people in the coastal enclave.

Not satisfied with the number of deaths recorded, Israel vowed to wipe out every single member of Hamas terror group.

“Hamas are a terror group that has no mercy and has decided that they want to slaughter the Israelis and destroy the State of Israel.
