Satellite images taken recently reveal the aftermath of the airstrikes from the IDF in Beit Hanoun and Atatra in the Gaza Strip, according to Maariv. Many Gaza residents have also been posting videos and pictures to social media, showing the damages caused by the Israeli Air Force.

Since the start of the war on October 7, the IAF has been striking targets, many of which include weapons depots and Hamas tunnels, and destroying them.

On October 11, Brig.-Gen. Omer Tishler, the Israel Air Force's chief of staff, said that his forces were dropping thousands of bombs "around the clock" on Hamas terrorists "with no difference between day and night."

With pictures showing that airstrikes were cutting in half or completely removing various Gaza neighborhoods where Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists were hiding, Tishler said the air force is hunting them everywhere "from invaders to anyone who steps outside in Gaza, to those terrorists hiding inside [civilian] residences."
