IDF: Yesterday, with the direction of IDF and ISA intelligence, the IAF conducted a precise strike on Hamas terrorists who were operating inside a command and control center embedded within a compound that previously served as the UNRWA "Sheikh Jamil School" also known as the "Ahmed Abdul Aziz School" in the Humanitarian area in Khan Yunis.

The command and control center included a training compound from which the Hamas terrorists planned to execute terrorist activities against IDF troops and advanced terrorist activities against the State of Israel.

The terrorists operated from a structure that previously served as a school, which is yet another example of how the terrorist organization systematically operates within civilian population.

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

The terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip systematically violate international law, exploiting civilian infrastructure and the Gazan population as human shields for terrorist activity.

IDF: A short while ago, a UAV that was launched from Yemen was intercepted by an Israeli Navy missile boat in the Mediterranean Sea. The UAV was intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory.

IDF: Joint IDF and ISA announcement:

Earlier today (Sunday), with the direction of IDF and ISA intelligence, the IAF conducted a precise strike on Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists who were operating in a command and control center embedded in the offices of the “Civil Defense” organization in Nuseirat.

The command and control center was used by the terrorists to plan and carry out an imminent terror attack against IDF troops.

Among the terrorists eliminated in the strike was the Islamic Jihad terrorist Ahmed Bakr al-Lawh, who previously served as a Platoon commander in the Islamic Jihad's Central Camps Brigade.

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

The terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip systematically violate international law, exploiting civilian infrastructure and the Gazan population as human shields for terrorist activity. The IDF will continue to operate against terrorist organizations in defense of the citizens of Israel.

IDF: Footage of Weapons and Terrorist Infrastructure Located by the 98th Division in Southern Lebanon

Over the past three months, the 98th Division, including the combat teams of the 7th, Commando, and Paratroopers brigades, conducted several division-level operations in different areas in southern Lebanon, including Kfarkela, Al-Aadaissah, Rab El Thalathine, Markaba, Taybeh and Khiam.

In recent weeks, the division operated against military targets in the Khiam area, a town that served as a central Hezbollah stronghold and from which thousands of rockets were fired toward Israel. During their activities, the soldiers eliminated numerous terrorists and located and dismantled over 300 terrorist infrastructure sites.

Since the ceasefire agreement came into effect, the division’s troops have continued to operate in southern Lebanon, while adhering to the terms of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon. The troops have been operating in order to prevent Hezbollah from regrouping, locate weapons and terrorist infrastructure, and remove threats to the State of Israel and its citizens. The soldiers are currently preparing for upcoming missions. Additional IDF troops are continuing to operate in the area.
