The IDF continues its large-scale operations against Hamas in Gaza. Over the past day, Israeli forces in the Jabaliya area eliminated more than 50 terrorist operatives, including those responsible for launching anti-tank missiles at troops. Large quantities of weapons, including AK-47s, RPGs, and ammunition, were found. In Rafah, IDF troops dismantled a rocket launcher, additional weapon caches, and underground tunnel shafts. In central Gaza, more terrorists were neutralized, and additional weapons and infrastructure were destroyed. The Israeli Air Force also struck over 110 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon and approximately 30 Hamas targets in Gaza, hitting terrorist cells, weapons storage sites, rocket launchers, and underground infrastructure.

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) and IDF artillery successfully eliminated two senior Hezbollah commanders responsible for recent attacks on northern Israel. Ahmad Moustafa al-Haj Ali, commander of the Houla Front, was killed in a targeted strike. He was responsible for orchestrating hundreds of missile and anti-tank attacks aimed at the Kiryat Shmona area. In a separate operation, Mohammad Ali Hamdan, commander of Hezbollah’s anti-tank unit in the Meiss El Jabal region, was also killed. Hamdan had led multiple anti-tank missile assaults targeting northern Israeli communities.

Earlier today, the Israeli Air Force carried out a strike in the Quneitra region of Syria, killing Adham Jahout, a key figure in Hezbollah’s “Golan Terrorist Network,” according to the IDF. Jahout’s role involved transmitting intelligence from the Syrian regime to Hezbollah, aiding in operations against Israel in the Golan Heights. This targeted strike is part of ongoing efforts to dismantle Hezbollah’s influence along Israel’s northern front.

Earlier today, an Israeli Navy missile ship successfully intercepted a UAV outside of Israeli territory that was approaching from Lebanon.  

Several buildings in Tzefas were hit during a recent Hezbollah rocket barrage targeting northern Israel. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan calls Israel a “Zionist terrorist organization” over its attacks on Iranian proxy terror groups in Gaza and Lebanon, and repeats his criticism of Western powers, namely the United States, over the support given to Israel. Speaking to lawmakers from his ruling AK Party in parliament, Erdogan also says the Iranian missile attack on Israel last week and Israel’s anticipated response has heightened the risk of a regional conflict.

The IDF has released video footage showing drone strikes on Hezbollah terrorists in southern Lebanon, coordinated by the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit. This unit, operating in tandem with the 36th Division, uses drones to track Hezbollah operatives. One of the recent drone strikes eliminated a Hezbollah company commander, according to the IDF.

The Israeli Air Force conducted airstrikes on more than 230 sites in the past 24 hours, hitting 185 Hezbollah locations in Lebanon and 45 Hamas positions in Gaza. The strikes targeted areas where operatives were gathering, as well as observation posts, rocket launchers, and weapon depots, according to the IDF.
