IDF Updates – October 23rd

IDF: On Monday, following precise intelligence, the IAF struck and eliminated Khalil Mohammad Amhaz, a terrorist operative in Hezbollah’s Aerial Unit (127), in the Hermel area of Lebanon. Amhaz was a significant source of expertise for Hezbollah’s Aerial Unit, which is responsible for developing and launching explosive and intelligence-gathering UAVs into Israel.

Over the past month, the IAF has conducted strikes on dozens of terror targets belonging to this unit.


IDF: Overnight, the IAF conducted intelligence-based strikes on several weapons storage, manufacturing facilities and command centers belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization which were located within civilian infrastructure in the area of Dahieh, a key Hezbollah terrorist stronghold in Beirut.

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

This strike is part of the efforts to damage Hezbollah’s weapons storage and manufacturing facilities that are embedded beneath residential buildings in the heart of the city of Beirut, endangering the population in the area.

IDF: Documents Expose 6 Al Jazeera Journalists as Terrorists in the Hamas and Islamic Jihad Terror Organizations

The IDF has disclosed intelligence information and numerous documents found in the Gaza Strip confirming the military affiliation of six Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza with Hamas and the Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations. They are: Anas Jamal Mahmoud Al-Sharif, Alaa Abdul Aziz Muhammad Salama, Hossam Basel Abdul Karim Shabat, Ashraf Sami Ashour Saraj, Ismail Farid Muhammad Abu Omar, and Talal Mahmoud Abdul Rahman Aruki.

The terrorist-journalist Ismail Farid Muhammad Abu Omar was struck and injured a few months ago in Gaza. The documents once again confirm his involvement in terrorist activities. The Al Jazeera network has attempted to disassociate itself from Omar’s terror activites.

The documents include personnel tables, lists of terrorist training courses, phone directories, and salary documents for terrorists. These provide unequivocal proof that these individuals serve as military operatives for the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip.

These documents serve as proof of the integration of Hamas terrorists within the Qatari Al Jazeera media network.

Most of the journalists that the IDF has exposed as operatives in Hamas’s military wing spearhead the propaganda for Hamas at Al Jazeera, especially in the northern Gaza Strip.
