IDF: Last night (Wednesday), during a special IDF operation based on prior intelligence, a structure in the area of Houla in southern Lebanon was dismantled. The structure was used by the Hezbollah terrorist organization for military activity, including attempts to gather intelligence on IDF troops.
The terrorists’ activity in the structure constituted a clear violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.

The structure was also the residence of Ahmad Ghazi Ali, a Hezbollah terrorist who was eliminated last week in the same area after he was identified attempting to re-establish Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in the area.

The IDF will continue to operate to eliminate any threat posed to the civilians of the state of Israel.

IDF: Overnight (Thursday), Israeli civilians attempted to enter Nablus from several areas without coordination and in violation of the law. IDF soldiers closed off entries to Nablus and operated to disperse the gatherings.

Additionally, several Israeli civilians entered the site of Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, and a violent confrontation developed between them and Palestinian civilians in the area.
All civilians were evacuated from the area and will be transferred by the IDF to the Israel Police for further questioning.

We emphasize that the entry of Israeli civilians to Area A is dangerous and is prohibited by law.

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

This site is part of a significant underground project that was completely taken out of use following IDF strikes. The IDF identified rehabilitation attempts made by Hezbollah beforehand and struck terror infrastructure sites in the area.

The presence of this site and the attempts to re-establish it constitute a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.

The IDF will not allow attempts made by Hezbollah to operate at the site and will continue to operate to eliminate any threat against the State of Israel.

IDF: Yesterday (Thursday), a discussion was held led by the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir, during which the updated combat timeline for regular and reserve troops was approved, in accordance with the operational situational assessment.

During the discussion, several decisions were made regarding ongoing preparedness, adjusting the timeline to the operational needs in the various arenas, and taking into account the burden placed on service members after approximately 20 months of combat.

In accordance with the updated timeline, revised call-up notices were sent to reservists via the automated calling system.

The IDF conducts ongoing situational assessments in order to examine possible relief measures for reservists. The IDF is aware of the implications of the short notice period and understands the complexities faced by service members and their families; however, it is important to emphasize that this stems from operational necessity.

The IDF deeply appreciates the reservists and their families, who serve with dedication and sacrifice, and expresses profound gratitude for their significant contribution to the security of the state.

In light of the deployment of reserve forces during the summer months, the Personnel Directorate has formulated a personalized support plan that includes subsidized summer camps, babysitting services for children, and recreational events for the families of service members. This is in addition to the broader support framework that has been in place and is continuously updated since the beginning of the war.
IDF: Commander of the Israeli Air Force: “I want to tell you what the decisive component is: aircraft over Tehran whenever we choose. And what will make that possible is superiority, superiority, and once again — superiority.”

IDF: The IDF is operating to allow and facilitate the distribution of humanitarian aid by the American “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” (GHF), and to secure the routes leading to the distribution centers, in order to allow the aid to reach the civilians rather than Hamas. These efforts are taking place alongside the IDF’s ongoing operational activities throughout the Gaza Strip.

We strongly reject the accusation raised in the article - the IDF did not instruct the forces to deliberately shoot at civilians, including those approaching the distribution centers. To be clear, IDF directives prohibit deliberate attacks on civilians.

As part of the operational activity in the access routes to the distribution centers, IDF forces are conducting systematic learning processes aimed at improving the operational response in the area and minimizing, as much as possible, potential friction between the civilian population and IDF forces. As part of this effort, IDF forces have recently taken steps to reorganize the area, including the installation of new fencing, signage, the opening of additional routes, and more.

In light of recent reports of incidents of harm to the civilians approaching the distribution centers, the incidents are being examined by the relevant IDF authorities. Any allegation of a deviation from the law or IDF directives will be thoroughly examined, and further action will be taken as necessary. The allegations of deliberate fire toward civilians presented in the article are not recognized in the field.
IDF: The Chief of the General Staff in the Gaza Strip: “Iran has taken a heavy blow. There is a possibility that the strike on Iran will advance our objectives in Gaza. In the near future, we will reach the lines we defined for the current phase within the framework of operation ‘Gideon’s Chariots.’ From there, operational options will be developed and presented to the political echelon. We will continue to act with determination in order to achieve the two main objectives of the war — the return of the hostages and the defeat of Hamas.”

IDF: Following the IDF strikes this morning (Friday) on a site used to manage Hezbollah's fire and defense array in southern Lebanon, reports emerged that a civilian structure in the Nabatieh area was damaged.
A review indicates that as a result of the strike, a rocket belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization that was stored at the site, was launched and hit the civilian building.

The Hezbollah terrorist organization continues to endanger the residents of southern Lebanon by refusing to hand over its weapons to the state.

The re-establishment of Hezbollah's infrastructure and the presence of weapons held by the organization within Lebanese territory constitute a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
Accordingly, the Lebanese Armed Forces are expected to act to confiscate rockets and weaponry from Hezbollah.

Attached is footage of the rocket launch following the strike on the site: https://bit.ly/3ZVkzTb
IDF: Following the sirens that sounded in open areas near the communities near the Gaza Strip, a projectile launched from the Gaza Strip was identified crossing into Israeli territory and was intercepted.
IDF: Initial report - The IDF has identified the launch of a missile from Yemen toward Israeli territory, aerial defense systems are operating to intercept the threat.
The public is requested to follow the Home Front Command’s defensive guidelines.
IDF: Initial report - Sirens sounded in several areas in Israel following a projectile that was launched from Yemen. The details are under review.
IDF: Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, one missile was launched from Yemen.
An interceptor was launched toward the missile, and the missile was most likely successfully intercepted.
Sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol.
IDF: Overnight (Friday), IDF soldiers identified several Israeli civilians driving toward an area designated as a closed military zone, near the village of Kafr Malik. The soldiers were dispatched to the scene to disperse the gathering.
Upon the arrival of the security forces, dozens of Israeli civilians hurled stones toward them and physically and verbally assaulted the soldiers, including the Battalion Commander.
In addition, the civilians vandalized and damaged security forces' vehicles, and attempted to ram the security forces.

The security forces dispersed the gathering, and six Israeli civilians were apprehended and transferred to the Israel Police for further processing.

The IDF and Israel Police condemn any act of violence against security forces and will act firmly against any attempt to harm security personnel carrying out their duty to protect Israeli citizens.
The IDF and Israel Police will continue to focus on ensuring the safety of civilians, while also enforcing the law and preventing illegal activity in all its forms.
IDF: The Chief of the General Staff communicated today with the Battalion Commander of the 7114th Battalion, COL G, and the Commander of the Binyamin Regional Brigade, COL A.

The Chief of the General Staff emphasized his full support for the conduct and operations of the battalion and the brigade, and strongly condemned any harm directed at IDF soldiers, including reservists who are serving with dedication and personal sacrifice.

Last night (Friday), the battalion operated to disperse Israeli civilians who had entered a closed military zone near the village of Kafr Malik and violently assaulted the security forces.

The IDF and its soldiers face many challenges. The undermining of the rule of law and the use of violence by a radical minority harm security and stability in the area.

The Chief of the General Staff expressed his appreciation for the battalion, which reported for a third round of reserve duty, and for its continued operations in the Binyamin Regional Brigade over this period.
IDF: Earlier today (Saturday), the IDF struck and eliminated the terrorist Hassan Muhammad Hammoudi in the area of Kounine in southern Lebanon, who was responsible for Hezbollah's anti-tank missile array in the Bint Jbeil sector.

During the war, the terrorist directed numerous anti-tank missile attacks toward Israeli territory.

The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat posed to the State of Israel.
IDF: The IDF and ISA Eliminated One of the Founders of the Hamas Terrorist Organization

Yesterday (Friday), in a joint activity, the IDF and ISA struck and eliminated the terrorist Hakham Muhammad Issa Al-Issa in the area of Sabra in Gaza City. Hakham Muhammad Issa Al-Issa was a senior figure in Hamas’ military wing and was considered one of the founders of the terrorist organization.
His current role was Head of Combat Support Headquarters in Hamas’ military wing.

In the past, Issa led Hamas’ force-buildup efforts in the Gaza Strip, was one of the founders of its military wing, served as Head of the Training Headquarters, and was a member of Hamas’ General Security Council.
Additionally, Issa played a significant role in the planning and execution of the brutal October 7th massacre.

Throughout the war, and over the past few days, Issa served as Head of the Combat Support Headquarters, and advanced aerial and naval terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops operating in the Gaza Strip.
Simultaneously, Issa operated to rebuild Hamas’ organizational systems that were damaged during the war.

Hakham Muhammad Issa Al-Issa was a key source of knowledge and one of the last remaining senior Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip who held high-ranking positions before October 7th, 2023.

The IDF and ISA will continue to operate to locate and eliminate all terrorists from the different terrorist organizations who took part in the brutal October 7th massacre.
