IDF: Overnight, IDF fighter jets struck a Hezbollah military compound in the town of Qantara in southern Lebanon. As a result of the strike, a number of terrorists were killed.
Furthermore, the IDF struck an additional Hezbollah military structure in the area of the town.
IDF: IDF special forces are continuing to operate against the Hamas terrorist organization in the Nasser Hospital; the troops located weapons inside the hospital and apprehended dozens of terror suspects, including over 20 terrorists who participated in the October 7th Massacre
The Commando Brigade, Shayetet 13, and additional special forces are continuing to conduct a precise and limited operation against the Hamas terrorist organization within the Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis. The activity is based on IDF intelligence indicating that Hamas terrorist activity is being carried out from within the hospital.
Thus far, over 20 terrorists who participated in the October 7th massacre have been apprehended, and dozens of suspects have been taken for questioning.
Furthermore, during searches in the area of the hospital, IDF troops located mortar shells, grenades, and additional weapons belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization. Hamas has previously used the hospital as a launch pad to fire mortar shells, including during a Hamas attack last month, which was revealed in IDF radar imagery.
The IDF will continue to operate in accordance with international law against the Hamas terrorist organization, which cynically operates from within hospitals and civilian infrastructure.
IDF Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari:
“The use of hospitals for terrorist activities, firing mortar shells from civilian areas, and for holding hostages are against the international law.”

IDF: IDF troops and the Coordination and Liaison Administration for Gaza (CLA) are operating against the Hamas terrorist organization in the area of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis. During the
precise and limited operational activity inside Nasser Hospital, medications with the names of Israeli hostages were found. The source of the medications and their use are being reviewed.
Additionally, weapons were located within the hospital compound.
This morning (Friday), a report was received concerning the interruption of generator activity, resulting in the failure of electrical systems within the hospital. Contrary to the allegation, IDF troops did not target the generators. The troops were instructed to ensure the continuous functioning of the hospital. However, despite the generator malfunction at the hospital, all vital systems continued to operate throughout the day based on the existing Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system in the hospital.
During the day, upon receiving the report of the hospital generator malfunction, IDF troops worked to repair the generator, while simultaneously Shayetet 13 special forces brought in an alternative generator to the hospital. These actions were carried out in close coordination between the IDF and the hospital administration through officers of the Coordination and Liaison Administration for Gaza (CLA).
In addition to bringing in an alternative generator, the IDF supplied food for infants and water to the hospital. The CLA also coordinated with international aid organizations to supply diesel fuel to maintain hospital activity.
The IDF will continue to operate in accordance with international law against Hamas, which systematically operates from within hospitals and civilian infrastructure.
