Israel said Tuesday its forces battled Hamas inside Gaza overnight and struck 300 targets after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu categorically ruled out a ceasefire as a "surrender" to the Palestinian militant group.
"The soldiers killed terrorists and directed air forces to real-time strikes on targets and terror infrastructure," the army said in a statement.
