IDF: A short while ago, IDF aircraft struck a terrorist infrastructure site in the area of the Beaufort Ridge in southern Lebanon that was used by the Hezbollah terrorist organization to manage its fire and defense array.

At the site, the IDF struck Hezbollah terrorists, weapons, and tunnel shafts. This infrastructure is part of a significant underground project that, due to IDF strikes, has been rendered inoperable.

The existence of this site and the activities conducted there constitute a blatant violation of the understanding between Israel and Lebanon.

The IDF will continue to operate in order to remove any threat to the State of Israel and will prevent any attempt by Hezbollah to reestablish and rebuild itself.
IDF: Yesterday (Wednesday), the IDF carried out a strike in the Deir al-Balah area, eliminating terrorist Nasr Sobhi Ibrahim Jumaa, a commander in the Hamas terror organization’s rocket production headquarters. Jumaa was a senior terrorist in the unit and played an active role in the rocket manufacturing process.

Prior to the strike, steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians as much as possible, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.

IDF troops, with the direction of the IDF and ISA intelligence, continue to operate against terrorist organizations throughout the Gaza Strip, dismantling terrorist infrastructure sites and eliminating terrorists.

In the southern Gaza Strip, an aircraft struck several terrorists who attempted to plant an explosive device near IDF troops, as well as a weapons depot and a structure in which several terrorists were operating and had fired toward IDF troops.

Over the past 72 hours, the IAF struck over 150 terror targets in the Gaza Strip, including terrorist cells, underground terrorist infrastructure sites, and military structures from which terrorists were operating.

IDF: The Commanding Officer of the Central Command During an Exercise of the Jordan Valley Regional Brigade: “The trends over the past four months, following the counterterrorism operation in Judea and Samaria, are positive”

Yesterday (Thursday), the Commanding Officer of the Central Command, MG Avi Bluth, visited the Jordan Valley Regional Brigade during an exercise. During his visit, he spoke with battalion commanders and other officers about the importance of training and readiness in the region, in light of changes on the ground and ongoing processes to establish the Eastern Division.

From the remarks of the Commanding Officer of the Central Command, MG Avi Bluth: “We are approaching a major shift in the eastern arena. In fact, we’re already undergoing change because the enemy has changed, the threats have changed, and the threat from Syria has changed. Therefore, we must also change. We are calling up reserve battalions—people who are coming with a strong sense of mission, with high turnout rates, and who give their all so we can meet the goals of this war. We must ensure, first, that they receive proper recognition, but most importantly, that they are received by a professional force that integrates them effectively into operations.
The terrorist in Hebron was eliminated, as expected in any instance of hostile engagement, and the suspect in the Barta'a area was apprehended last night and taken in for questioning.
You see, when it comes to the Central Command arena, you must always look beyond individual incidents, and look also at broader directions—what are the trends.
The trends over the past four months, following the counterterrorism operation in Judea and Samaria, are positive trends, and even yesterday’s incident does not change that.
We’ve had two tough encounters with wounded in the field—now we must ensure that all our troops understand that with the current developments in Gaza, the lone terrorist phenomenon is something we will see. They must be met with a strong frontline force that ends it with only one outcome: the terrorist is neutralized.
In the end, we are and will remain true to our vision: the IDF will operate against all terror entities, while civilians continue to live their daily lives.”
