"Since the beginning of the war, the terrorist organization Hamas has been firing rockets from the Gaza Strip while cynically exploiting the uninvolved population and civilian sites such as kindergartens, schools, and mosques, and launching into the territory of the State of Israel with the clear intention of harming the citizens of the country," said the IDF Spokesperson's Unit.
