IDF: Earlier today (Tuesday), the IAF conducted an intelligence-based strike in Damascus targeting Hezbollah’s representative to the Syrian military, Salman Nemer Jamaa.

The Syrian regime has actively supported Hezbollah, enabling weapon smuggling to Lebanon and by that endangering Syrian and Lebanese civilians. Jamaa was a key Hezbollah figure supporting these operations.

Jamaa, a senior Hezbollah terrorist, has held various positions in the Hezbollah terrorist organization over the past years, especially in the Syrian arena.

He had previously served as the Head of Intelligence in the Khiam arena, the Head of Operations in Hezbollah’s Damascus command center, and in recent years, Hezbollah’s representative to the Syrian military.

As part of his role, Jamaa was responsible for coordinating between Hezbollah operatives and the Syrian military, including supporting weapons smuggling from Syria to Hezbollah including during the “Swords of Iron” war. Additionally, he was in close contact with Syrian state officials.

Salman Nemer Jamaa’s elimination degrades both Hezbollah’s presence in Syria and Hezbollah’s ongoing force-building efforts.


IDF: The Chief of the General Staff in southern Lebanon: “The mission is to ensure that this region does not revert to being an area of terrorist infrastructure but rather remains a safe zone.”

Yesterday (Monday), the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi, conducted a situational assessment in the Northern Command and patrolled the southern Lebanon region with the Commanding Officer of the Northern Command, MG Ori Gordin, the Commanding Officer of the 91st Division, BG Shay Klapper, and additional commanders.

Attached are the Chief of the General Staff’s full remarks:
“Today we are patrolling with additional commanders in southern Lebanon. We have stopped at several locations and see the very thorough operations that have been carried out in the fight against Hezbollah. Many terrorists have been eliminated, infrastructure has been destroyed in all arenas, and we are seizing large amounts of weapons and taking them into Israeli territory.

I assume that in the coming days, Hezbollah will discover that many of their operatives have been eliminated here in recent weeks. This is what we are seeing in the villages located deeper in Lebanon. Here, in the first circle of closer villages, there are no operatives. What was here has been destroyed. IDF forces are very careful about maintaining the ceasefire, and from here, as we look southward at northern Israeli communities, the mission is to ensure that this region does not revert to being an area of terrorist infrastructure but rather remains a safe zone. The IDF is operating very thoroughly and very professionally here.

Combat in this area has broader implications. Hezbollah, which was very strongly positioned here, has been dealt a severe blow. The IDF is capable of handling any threat along any border—this is something that is also understood in Gaza now. We fought on two fronts, both near the State of Israel, as well as in more distant areas. We continue to fight with great determination, and the forces here, those in Gaza, and those combating terrorism in Judea and Samaria are highly motivated. We will continue to operate professionally and with determination, and our enemies will understand what they need to understand.”


IDF: This morning (Tuesday), acting on ISA intelligence, an IAF aircraft struck vehicles in the Aqabah area in northern Samaria. Three Hamas terrorists who planned an imminent terrorist attack were eliminated in the strike.
Following the strike, IDF soldiers conducted a targeted raid in the vicinity of the strike, locating four weapons.
