IDF: IDF Troops Located and Dismantled Iranian Made Weapons Aimed Toward the State of Israel

For the past two months, troops of the 810th Brigade and the Alpinist Unit continued to conduct targeted, intelligence-based raids in the thicketed terrain of Mount Dov. During these activities, the soldiers located and dismantled numerous Hezbollah weapons and terrorist infrastructure.
Over the past week, the soldiers located a Hezbollah launch site containing accommodation facilities and hideouts. In the compound, the troops located and confiscated an Iranian-manufactured cannon, rocket launchers, and rockets aimed toward Israel.

IDF: Earlier this morning, the IAF completed additional intelligence-based strikes on Hezbollah terrorist targets in the Dahieh, a key Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut. The targets included several Hezbollah command centers, and additional terrorist infrastructure. Hezbollah deliberately embedded its infrastructure in these civilian areas, using the Lebanese civilian population as a human shield.

Prior to the strikes, numerous steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including by collecting prior intelligence, leveraging aerial surveillance, and issuing advance warnings to the civilian population in the area.

The strikes were directed toward Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure and are part of the IDF’s ongoing efforts to degrade Hezbollah’s capability to carry out terrorist attacks against Israel and to dismantle the weapons production and storage facilities that Hezbollah established over the years in the Dahieh area.


IDF: Following the sirens that sounded at 13:58 in Ein HaShlosha and Kissufim, the IAF intercepted two projectiles that crossed from the southern Gaza Strip.


IDF: Following the hostile aircraft infiltration sirens that sounded between 17:08 and 17:10 in the Western Galilee area, the IAF intercepted two UAVs that crossed from Lebanon.


IDF: Earlier today, dozens of Israelis, some of whom were masked, instigated a violent riot adjacent to Itamar, in Judea and Samaria. The rioters hurled stones toward IDF and Israel Border Police forces who arrived to the scene.
The IDF and Israel Border Police dispersed the riot and apprehended five suspects.

The IDF strongly condemns all violence of any kind against IDF personnel and views such incidents with utmost severity.


IDF: Yesterday (Friday), the Commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), General (* * * *) Michael “Erik” Kurilla, arrived in Israel as the official guest of the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi.

The Chief of the General Staff and the Commander of CENTCOM conducted a situational assessment along with the Head of the Operations Directorate and the Commanding Officer of the Northern Command. The situational assessment focused on security and strategic issues, with an emphasis on Lebanon.

The IDF will continue to deepen its relationship with the U.S. Armed Forces which is the result of our commitment to strengthening regional stability and the coordination between the two militaries.

IDF: This evening, the Hamas terrorist organization released footage allegedly showing a hostage who had been killed. We are examining the information, and at this stage, we cannot confirm or refute it. IDF representatives are in contact with her family and are keeping them updated with all available information.
Hamas continues to engage in psychological terror and act with extreme brutality.

Please refrain from spreading rumors and information that may harm the families of the hostages.
