Israel Defense Force spokesman Efe Deflyn said at a press conference on the 3rd that the Israeli military offensive against the Gaza Strip has entered a "new stage".

The current Israeli attack in Gaza is more of a meaning in maintaining "existence" rather than having to achieve some effect.

Daflyn said that the Israeli army has launched more than 600 attacks since resuming military operations in the Gaza Strip on March 18, killing more than 250 people.

According to him, the deceased were all Palestinian militants or were related to the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).

Daflyn said that the Israeli offensive entered a "new stage" in line with Israel's combat objectives, namely, to promote the release of detained personnel and disintegrate Hamas' military and governance capabilities. The next move will remain "ambiguous" in order to "major progress unexpectedly." He stressed that the Israeli attack would not stop until the 59 detained personnel or bodies of Israel were released or returned.

The Israeli army issued a statement on the 3rd saying that the military intercepted a rocket from the Gaza Strip that night. An early warning system installed by Xinhua News Agency reporters' mobile phones shows that an air defense alarm sounded in Israeli communities around Gaza.
