IDF: The IDF Is Currently Conducting a Wide-Ranging Engineering Operation To Restore Northern Israeli Communities
Following the launch of it’s attack on Israel on Oct. 8th, 2023, the Hezbollah terrorist organization fired thousands of rockets, missiles and UAVs into Israel for over a year, causing significant damage to the northern Israeli communities. As part of efforts to create the conditions for the return of the northern residents to their homes, the IDF is conducting a wide-ranging operation to restore and clear up communities in northern Israel.
Engineering squads alongside other additional soldiers have been deployed and are operating across more than 40 communities in northern Israel and in civilian areas that were used as military assembly areas.
The forces are clearing military equipment, cleaning waste, and removing unexploded ordnances from the communities using engineering tools.
The Home Front and the Logistics Units of the Northern Command, in coordination with their civilian counterparts and in close cooperation with local authorities, have been working for over a year to establish conditions for the safe return of northern residents to their homes. This effort emphasizes the management of daily life in a secure environment.

Joint IDF and ISA Announcement:
The IDF and ISA eliminated the Head of the National Security Directorate of Hamas’ Security Mechanism
Yesterday (Sunday), with direction of IDF and ISA intelligence, the IAF struck and eliminated the terrorist Tharwat Muhammad Ahmed Albec, who served as the head of the Security Directorate of Hamas’ Security Mechanisms. Albec was operating in a command and control center that was embedded in a compound that previously served as the “Musa bin Nusayr” school in Duraj Taffah.
The Security Directorate of Hamas’ Security Mechanisms produces intelligence assessments that help within Hamas’ decision-making and is also responsible for the security of senior Hamas members, providing them hideout places to ensure the continuation of their military activities. Albec served as a central figure in the Security Mechanisms and as a significant figure in the decision-making process.
Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.
This is a further example of the Hamas terrorist organization’s systematic abuse of civilian infrastructure and the Gaza population in violation of international law. The IDF will continue to operate against Hamas in defense of the citizens of Israel.
