IDF Forces in Gaza (IDF)
The Israel Defense Forces IDF continue to advance in Gaza on their mission to destroy the Hamas terrorist organization based there. This includes the destruction of Hamas bases, the location and destruction of its weapons and the elimination or capture of its terrorists.
In the area of Beit Lahia, located in the north of Gaza, IDF troops located approximately 100 rocket launching installations and 60 ready-to-use rockets. Hamas has launched thousands of rockets indiscriminately against civilian targets in Israel since October 7. Many were launched from below ground launchers built with metal pipes installed in Gaza by the EU for the benefit of Gaza’s civilians.
The troops eliminated dozens of terrorists during the activity to destroy the rocket launchers.

In Khan Yunis, located in southern Gaza, Israeli forces directed aircraft to strike terror operatives that were identified in the area and directed a helicopter from the Israel Air Force to strike an observation position used by terrorists that endangered Israeli troops.
The IDF also continues to operate against the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon. Hezbollah has been launching rockets indiscriminately into Israel since the start of the war in Gaza. Some feel it is trying to goad Israel into expanding the war into Lebanon.
Mira and Barak Ayalon, a mother and son, were killed on Sunday when an anti-tank missile launched from Lebanon hit their home in Kfar Yuval near Israel’s northern border.
Most recently, an IAF fighter jet struck Hezbollah operational infrastructure in the area of Maroun El Ras in southern Lebanon.
Forces from the 646th Brigade operating in the Nuseirat Camp in central Gaza located a compound used for manufacturing mortar shells, a rocket production factory and weapons hidden in the building of a humanitarian organization.
Following intelligence, the forces searched a school in the area, and encountered 10 Hamas terrorists hiding in the school. The terrorists were apprehended and detained for further investigation by the security forces. In addition, a weapons storage facility was found in the school area containing a large variety of weapons.
