After Hamas' deadliest attack on Israelis, Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said his country's security forces will "change the face of reality" in the Gaza Strip. Since Saturday, the day when Hamas carried out the surprise attack killing hundreds of civilians and taking 150-plus hostages, Israel's defence forces have carried out thousands of targeted strikes on what they call the terrorist hideouts.

Collin Rugg, an American investor, shared the video and said hundreds of apartments and homes have been demolished displacing more than 123,000 people.
Israel's defence forces have reported that they have destroyed 130 targets in the past three days, he said. "Hamas is known for using innocent people including women and children as human shields."
Israel's army and air force have also been releasing videos of their strikes in Gaza. In an update on Monday, the defence forces said that over 1,200 targets were hit by Israeli aircraft across the Gaza Strip, including weapons storage and manufacturing sites, command and control centers, rocket launchers, and more. "Today, we doubled that number."
The Israeli forces also said that Hamas intentionally uses Gaza civilians as shields. The forces shared a picture in which they showed that one of Hamas' sites was located next to a mosque and just a football field away from a school. "Hamas intentionally positions itself deep among Gaza's population," the Israeli forces said.
In a tweet earlier today, Israel's air force said its fighter jets had been striking in the last few hours numerous terror targets belonging to terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip. "Overnight, dozens of fighter jets struck over 200 targets in Rimal and Khan Yunis." Rimal is an upscale neighborhood while Khan Yunis is a city in the southern Gaza Strip.
The IAf said that Rimal and Khan Yunis were used as terror hubs for the Hamas terrorist organization, and a large number of terror attacks against Israel are directed there. "Among the targets, IAF fighter jets struck Islamic Jihad terror infrastructure in Khan Yunis, a Hamas weapons storage site located inside a mosque, and operational terror infrastructure used by Hamas terror operatives."
