Multiple explosions rocked the Gaza Strip on Monday following IDF operations using a new tactic in Operation Gideon's Chariots. The IDF employed remotely detonated, explosives-laden APCs, creating powerful blasts heard across Israel. This method, minimizing soldier risk, involves controlled demolitions of infrastructure and clearing routes. The tactic was adopted after an APC loss and is now standard procedure in the ongoing Gaza operation, launched May 17th to remove Hamas and recover hostages.
