IDF Updates – October 2nd

IDF: A short while ago, with the direction of IDF intelligence, the IAF conducted precise strikes on terrorists who were operating inside Hamas command and control centers in the northern Gaza Strip. The command and control centers, which were embedded inside compounds that previously served as the ‘Muscat’ and ‘Rimal’ Schools, were used by the terrorists to plan and execute terrorist attacks against IDF troops and the State of Israel.

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

This is a further example of the Hamas terrorist organization’s systematic abuse of civilian infrastructure in violation of international law. The IDF will continue to operate against Hamas in defense of the citizens of Israel.


IDF: Yesterday (Tuesday), during the terror attack in the city of Tel Aviv-Yafo, a soldier was severely injured.

The soldier was evacuated to a hospital to receive medical treatment and her family has been notified.


IDF: A short while ago, with the direction of IDF intelligence, the IAF conducted a precise strike on Hamas terrorists who were operating inside a command and control center in the central Gaza Strip. The command and control center, which was embedded inside a compound that previously served as the ‘Al-Bureij Preparatory School’, was used by the terrorists to plan and execute terrorist attacks against IDF troops and the State of Israel.

IDF: Over the past few days, with the direction of precise IDF intelligence, IAF fighter jets conducted a series of targeted strikes in the area of Beirut against a number of weapons production facilities and additional terrorist infrastructure sites in the area.

Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including advancing warnings to the population in the area.

The Hezbollah terrorist organization has deliberately primarily embedded its weapons production facilities and weaponry beneath residential buildings in the heart of the city of Beirut, hiding them in populated areas.

The strikes were conducted in order to degrade Hezbollah’s military capabilities.
The IDF is continuing to operate against the threat of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in order to defend the State of Israel.
