Operation Swift Retort

Operation Swift Retort was a significant Israeli military response in 2018 to a series of rocket attacks launched from Gaza by Palestinian groups, particularly Hamas. After an initial strike targeting militant positions, Israel conducted targeted airstrikes against infrastructure and weapons sites associated with those groups. The operation aimed to demonstrate Israel's readiness to defend its citizens and deter future attacks. It involved precise military action, primarily using airpower, to neutralize threats while minimizing civilian harm. The operation highlighted the ongoing cycle of escalation and response in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
