Hamas moves wounded hostages underground as ceasefire collapses
The original ceasefire had enabled the release of some hostages and prisoners, along with increased humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza, before tensions escalated once again.
A comprehensive look at Israel's major military offensive against Hamas in Gaza, aimed at securing the release of hostages and dismantling terrorist infrastructure.
Operation Swords of Iron is Israel’s ongoing military campaign launched in direct response to the brutal October 7, 2023 massacre carried out by Hamas terrorists. That day, over 1,200 Israeli civilians were slaughtered in cold blood—women, children, and the elderly—while more than 250 hostages were dragged into Gaza. It was the bloodiest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
This operation is not just a military response—it’s a moral necessity. Its goals are clear: to dismantle Hamas’ military and leadership infrastructure in Gaza and to secure the safe return of the hostages.
Since the operation began, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) has conducted precise airstrikes and ground operations targeting terror tunnels, weapons depots, command centers, and senior Hamas operatives. One of the operation’s major milestones was the reported elimination of Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind behind the October 7 massacre.
Despite Hamas’ use of human shields, the IDF has implemented unprecedented humanitarian steps—such as advance evacuation notices, safe corridors for civilians, and coordination of aid transfers—underscoring the moral difference between Israel and its enemies.
This is not just Israel’s fight—it is the front line of the free world’s battle against jihadist terror. Hamas is an Iranian proxy, committed to genocide and regional instability. Defeating Hamas is essential for the security of Israel and the future of the Middle East.
