<hr>IDF: Following the alerts concerning a hostile aerial infiltration in the western Galilee in northern Israel, the IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted a suspicious aerial target that crossed from Lebanon.

Furthermore, throughout the day, several launches were identified crossing from Lebanon toward the area of Metula in northern Israel. The IDF struck the sources of the fire.

A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck a Hezbollah military compound in the area of Ayta ash Shab in southern Lebanon.
<hr>IDF: The footage circulating on social media in recent days shows a strike in Khan Yunis that took place at the beginning of February.
The area shown in the video is an active combat zone in Khan Younis that underwent significant civilian evacuation. Furthermore, IDF troops have experienced many encounters with terrorists in that area, who move throughout the area disguised in civilian clothing, accessing weaponry hidden within civilian infrastructure.

The aforementioned incident has been transferred for examination to the General Staff’s Fact Finding and Mechanism, an independent body responsible for the examination of exceptional incidents that occur during the war.
<hr>🛑What has happened:
When you quote AlJazeera Arabic you are amplifying uncorroborated information that serves #Hamas’ interests. They don’t check, they don’t care about the circumstances, they want only to celebrate Hamas and their terrorist acts against Israel, as they did on #October7thMassacre.
The conveniently (?) clipped video doesn’t reveal where the suspects came from, what they may have been doing prior to the strike, it only suggests alleged civilians were intercepted.
In all of Hamas’ propaganda videos the terrorists are only wearing civilian clothing. Hamas have distributed them extensively and AlJazeera has amplified them.

🛑 What we know:
What is clear from this video is that apparently combat aged men, in civilian attire, are walking in a combat zone.
IDF troops operating in the same combat zone experienced many encounters with terrorists in the area, who moved throughout the area always disguised in civilian clothing, accessing weaponry hidden and pre-positioned within the weaponized civilian arena.

🛑What we are doing:
The incident has been transferred for examination to the General Staff’s Fact Finding and Mechanism.
