IDF: Earlier today (Sunday), several armed individuals moving toward IDF troops in the southern Gaza Strip were struck by an IAF aircraft. Hits were identified.
The IDF once again calls on the residents of the Gaza Strip to follow IDF instructions and refrain from approaching troops deployed in the area.
IDF: The Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi, is set to travel tonight on an official visit to the United States from February 17 to 20, 2025. During the visit, he will meet with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), and other senior U.S. military officials to discuss key strategic and operational issues. The position of the Chief of the General Staff will be filled by the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, MG Amir Baram, during the visit.
During the ‘Swords of Iron’ War, cooperation between the two militaries has been exceptional. The Chief of the General Staff will take the opportunity to express his gratitude to his counterparts for their support, commitment, and personal ties. Additionally, he will explore ways to further enhance this cooperation.
IDF: Over the past few hours, IDF troops operated to distance several suspects who approached them and posed a threat in various areas of the Gaza Strip.
Earlier today (Sunday), the IAF fired to distance suspicious vehicles that were advancing northward from central Gaza. The vehicles were traveling along a route unauthorized for passage under the ceasefire agreement and proceeded without inspection, thus violating the terms of the agreement.
The IDF once again calls on the residents of the Gaza Strip to follow IDF instructions and refrain from approaching troops deployed in the area.
IDF: A short while ago, the IAF conducted precision, intelligence-based strikes on a number of military sites in Lebanese territory containing rocket launchers and weapons, where Hezbollah activity had been identified.
Terrorist activity at these sites constitutes a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
The IDF is continuing to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel.
