Israeli military officials said they have specifically targeted the homes of nine Hamas commanders who reportedly have gone underground. This includes Yahiyeh Sinwar who is the terrorist organization\u2019s top leader in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas has been unrelenting, launching more than 300 rockets since Saturday from civilian areas in Gaza toward densely populated regions in Israel. An Islamic militant rocket blasted a synagogue in southern Israel just hours before Sunday evening services for the Jewish holiday of Shavuot.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will continue to respond forcefully to attacks from Hamas for as long as it takes to restore security for his people. He also confirmed Israel has eliminated dozens of terrorists and seriously degraded the infrastructure of Hamas, including missile launchers and a vast subterranean network known as the \u201cterror tunnel.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A close shot of IDF airstrikes earlier today against the Shorouk Tower. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Gaza?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Gaza<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Israel?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Israel<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/U65YQ8oliW\">pic.twitter.com\/U65YQ8oliW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joe Truzman (@Jtruzmah) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jtruzmah\/status\/1392636173000974336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 13, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Netanyahu also pointed out that Hamas is committing a double war crime with its indiscriminate attacks on Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re targeting our civilians and hiding behind Palestinian civilians, effectively using them as human shields,\u201d stated the prime minister. \u201cAs always, Israel is doing everything possible to protect our civilians and keep Palestinian civilians out of harm\u2019s way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hamas terrorist in Gaza have fired more than 3,000 rockets into Israel, in turn, killing at least eight people this past week.
