IDF Launches Ground Offensive in Gaza to Finish Hamas

With Hamas leaders dead and hostages still in captivity, Israel escalates Operation Gideon’s Chariots to crush terror stronghold.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a massive ground offensive on Sunday, expanding Operation Gideon’s Chariots to eradicate Hamas from Gaza after days of precision airstrikes that decimated terrorist strongholds.

“IDF troops have begun extensive ground operations throughout northern and southern Gaza,” the military announced. “Over the past week, the IAF struck more than 670 Hamas terror targets throughout Gaza to disrupt enemy preparations and support ground operations.”

Now, Israeli boots are on the ground, and the mission is clear: rescue the hostages and destroy Hamas above and below ground.

“Thus far, the troops eliminated dozens of terrorists, dismantled terrorist infrastructure sites, and are currently being deployed in key positions within Gaza,” the IDF reported. “The IDF will continue to operate against the terrorist organizations in Gaza as required, in order to defend Israeli civilians.”

This isn’t just military maneuvering. It’s justice long overdue and now underway.

According to Saudi outlet Al-Hadath, the IDF’s strikes killed Hamas’s acting leader, Mohammed Sinwar, younger brother of Yahya Sinwar, who orchestrated the October 7 massacre and was taken out earlier this month.

“According to all indications, Mohammed Sinwar was killed,” confirmed Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, adding that the body was found in a tunnel near the European Hospital in Khan Yunis.

The strikes leading up to the ground assault were devastatingly effective, targeting Hamas infrastructure, tunnel networks, command centers, and weapons caches in every corner of the Gaza Strip. IDF ground troops are now pushing deeper into urban strongholds, armed with the intelligence and resolve to finish the mission.

This new phase of the war comes as anti-Israel mobs in Europe and the U.S. continue to disgrace themselves this time by targeting Israeli Eurovision singer Yuval Raphael, who survived the October 7 massacre by hiding under the bodies of the dead.

While she performs under death threats, Hamas apologists chant in the streets and Western media plays dumb, refusing to confront the truth: Hamas is a genocidal terror regime, not a resistance movement. And Israel is doing what any sovereign nation would do it’s eliminating the threat.

“The heroism of IDF soldiers, the unity of the people and the determination of the political echelon increase the chance of the return of the hostages,” Katz said.

Unlike the Biden administration’s flailing, Israel isn’t seeking consensus from international bureaucrats or appeasing protest mobs. It’s leading with clarity: end Hamas, bring the hostages home, and ensure that October 7 never happens again.

And they’re making it clear this operation will not stop until those objectives are met.

As Western governments cower in the face of radical street protests and media-driven outrage, Israel is doing what the free world used to do instinctively: fight evil with overwhelming force.
