IDF: Precision strikes against terrorists – UAVs neutralize threats against IDF soldiers in real-time
Israeli Air Force UAVs are constantly with IDF ground troops, providing direct and indirect support.
Indirect assistance is achieved through UAV operators’ communication with brigade forces and Israel Air Force ground control, who direct the UAVs to focus points and alert them to incidents and intelligence in the relevant areas. When UAVs are with the ground troops, the support they provide is direct and fully coordinated.
Additionally, the UAV Array carries out various missions including strikes, intelligence gathering, air cover for troops, and rapid support of ground forces. The UAVs accompany the forces from the air, striking terrorists who hide inside civilian buildings and urban areas to approach and attack IDF troops.

IDF: Hamas terror tunnel below the Shifa Hospital area was dismantled by the IDF without damaging the hospital complex
On November 24, 2023, the Hamas terror tunnel route excavated under the Shifa Hospital and exposed by the IDF was dismantled by the soldiers of the Yahalom Unit together with special forces. During the activity to dismantle these expansive underground tunnels, the hospital building above ground was not damaged and humanitarian activities in the hospital were able to continue.
This tunnel route under Shifa Hospital spanned over 250 meters, led to a number of significant terrorist centers and was used for carrying out terrorist operations. Hamas deliberately developed its underground terror tunnel infrastructure beneath the hospital and connected it to nearby tunnel shafts in order to conduct its activities freely and in disguise underground.
The Hamas terrorist organization systematically operates in the hospitals in the Gaza Strip and in the areas adjacent to them, using the residents as human shields and exploiting the hospital’s infrastructure, including electricity and water.

IDF: Over the last few hours, a number of launches were identified from Lebanon toward Israeli territory. No injuries were reported. IDF artillery is striking the sources of the launches.
In addition, IAF fighter jets struck a number of Hezbollah terror targets located in Lebanon, including terrorist infrastructure and a military compound. Furthermore, an IDF tank struck a terrorist squad that was identified in Lebanon.
Hezbollah’s ongoing terrorist activity and attacks against Israel violate UN Security Council Resolution 1701. The IDF will continue to defend its borders from any threat.
IDF: IDF Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari:
“Yesterday evening, international media outlets published that international intelligence agencies, notably those in the U.S., support the findings we exposed from the Shifa Hospital… Based on these intelligence agencies, these actions by Hamas, are an indication of Hamas’ terror activity and how they cynically exploit hospitals for terror and also for holding hostages.”

IDF: The Chief of the General Staff on the Northern Border: “We are in a very high state of readiness in the North, and are currently focusing on fighting Hamas”
Today (Wednesday), the Chief of the General Staff held a situational assessment at the northern border with the Commanding Officer of the Northern Command, MG Ori Gordin, and the Commanding Officer of the 210th Division, BG Zion Ratzon, along with the brigade and battalion commanders from the reserve units guarding the sector.

Attached are the full words of the Chief of the General Staff: “Based on my impressions, we are in a very high state of readiness in the North. I visit here often. I think our readiness is at its peak. There is a lot of expertise, great capabilities, and high morale. We are in very high readiness in all sectors and we are currently focusing on fighting Hamas. This war started at a difficult point. I think we talked about it last time we met, we won’t elaborate on it now. But it also creates an opportunity in these very difficult circumstances to create a very significant change to the situation. In the south, in the north, and in terms of general regional stability. First of all, we are looking forward, we are going to change our routine defense measures, we are going to have more soldiers on the borders for at least the next year, and we will reach something much stronger. Because this event, as hard as it is, and we will talk about it a lot more – we could have known, we couldn’t have known – it cannot repeat itself, that’s for sure. And we need to provide a very very strong response to this matter. I’m telling you, in our decisions, I know that there is a trained, prepared, ready force, with a lot of spirit. And we are going with that, that’s our security, we don’t have anything stronger than that. That’s the best.”
IDF: Earlier today, several launches from Lebanon were identified crossing into Israeli territory and falling in open areas in Goren, northern Israel.
Furthermore, a short while ago, a terrorist squad that was identified in the area of Yaroun in Lebanon was struck by the IDF. The IDF also struck observation devices, as well as military infrastructure in which Hezbollah terrorists were located.
