IDF Launches Surprise Passover Operation

According to the Israeli Defense Forces, the service launched a surprise operation in Central Gaza against Hamas on April 21st, 2024 which will continue through Passover. This announcement coincides with an uptick in the last 24 hours of airstrikes and battalion-sized raids in the beleaguered city. This also flies in the face of Western media assessments that IDF operations, especially in Rafah, will not take place during the Holy Jewish Week of Passover.
