The days of declaring way with a lengthy proclamation signed by a
prime minister or president are in the past. Israel announced on Tuesday
that it was launching a strike on the Gaza Strip with a single tweet.
RT: A message sent from the official Twitter account for the Israeli
Defense Forces’ press department confirmed that the Jewish state has
started a new round of action against their adversaries in what is
believed to be the first time that a military campaign has been issued
through the social media site.
“The IDF has begun a widespread campaign on terror sites & operatives in the #Gaza Strip, chief among them #Hamas & Islamic Jihad targets,” reads the message from the @IDFSpokesperson account. The IDF then confirmed over Twitter that additional strikes had seriously damaged Hamas' long-range missile capabilities and an underground weapons storage facilities.
Moments
later, the account confirmed that their first target, Ahmed Al-Jabari
of the Ezzidine Al-Qassam Brigades, the Hamas’ military wing, had been
hit in the attack. In a follow-up tweet, the IDF account says they have “embarked on an operation against Hamas, an Iranian proxy responsible for terror attacks on Israel.” They then warned that Hamas operatives should “show their faces” above ground in the coming days.
Shortly after, Hamas spokesman Fauazy Brehom confirmed to NBC News that Habari, the senior most commander of the organization’s military unit, had been killed in the attack. As a result, the Ezzidine Al-Qassam Brigades issued a statement saying that the IDF has “opened the gates of hell.”
“All options are on the table. If necessary, the IDF is ready to initiate a ground operation in Gaza,” the Israelis responded.
