For the first time since the outbreak of the war, the artillery units of the 282nd Artillery Brigade, operating under the 36th Division, have entered into active operations inside the Gaza Strip. This follows a period of intense engagement across multiple fronts.
Up to this point, the artillery forces have been providing critical backing to the ground units moving through the “Morag” Corridor. Their missions have included the destruction of weapons stockpiles and missile launching areas used by terror groups within Gaza, as well as the elimination of enemy fighters, all coordinated through the Brigade’s Fire Control Center.
In a notable development, the troops utilized the “Bar” rocket for the first time, launching it at selected targets inside Gaza. This weapon incorporates a sophisticated navigation system specifically designed to perform effectively in the complex conditions of battlefield operations.
The “Bar” rocket can deliver strikes with remarkable speed, reaching its target in a minimal amount of time.
A spokesperson emphasized that IDF forces will “continue to operate against terror organizations in the Gaza Strip in order to protect the citizens of the State of Israel.”
