Israel’s latest assault on Gaza is part of a fresh campaign to make Hamas “feel pain like they’ve never done before,” the military’s former top spokesperson said Tuesday.
The strikes that killed more than 400 people early Tuesday were the start of “a very different type of military campaign” responding to Hamas’ refusal to release the final 59 hostages, former Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Colonel Johnathan Conricus told Fox News.
“If you don’t release hostages, there’s a price to pay in blood,” he said.
“Israel has signaled that it is going to take the battle to Hamas and make them feel pain like they’ve never done before.”
As Israel remains firm in its plan to increase military strength as a response to the cease-fire being stalled, officials with the Hamas-run health organization in Gaza said more than 400 people were killed in the surprise strikes, including some top officials of the terror group.
