During the 11-days of Operation Guardian of the Walls, there was an unprecedented level of rocket fire, closed airports in Israel and a record number of interceptions of Hamas rockets in a short period of time. When the ceasefire came into force in the early hours of Friday, there were celebrations by Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank claiming victory. Israel also says it made impressive gains.
So what is the “scorecard” of the conflict?
Here is a look at what we know.
ISRAELI CLAIMS
The IDF says it killed at least 225 Gaza-based terrorists and 25 senior commanders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Israel also targeted the terrorists’ “metro” – underground tunnels that enable Hamas to move weapons and fighters underneath the Gaza Strip. Some 100 km. of the tunnel network was struck, with the IDF also hitting command and control centers located in the residences of 12 senior Hamas commanders in the Gaza Strip, used for terror purposes.
