The Israeli Defence Forces took to Twitter to declare war on Hamas shortly after they launched a series of airstrikes against the Palestinian group's leadership.

The IDF released a tweet about the attacks well before any official press conference, calling the attack Operation Pillar of Defence, and saying it was targeting terrorists responsible for the many rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.

"The IDF has begun a widespread campaign on terror sites & operatives in the #Gaza Strip, chief among them #Hamas & Islamic Jihad targets," the IDF tweeted.
