IDF: The IDF and ISA eliminated a Hamas terrorist responsible for Rocket Fire in Hamas’ Western Jabaliya Battalion and an additional Hamas terrorist who participated in the October 7th Massacre
Over the past weekend, with the direction of IDF and ISA intelligence, the IAF struck and eliminated the terrorist Ahmad Abd el-Halim Abu Hussein, responsible for rocket fire in Hamas’ Western Jabaliya Battalion. Abu Hussein was responsible for many rocket and mortar fire attacks against the Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers operating in the Gaza Strip.
Multiple other Hamas terrorists were eliminated in the strike, including the terrorist Muhammad Abd al-Rahman Muhammad Zakout, who infiltrated Israeli territory and participated in the October 7th Massacre.
During IDF operational activity in southern Lebanon, the troops located large quantities of weaponry and dismantled numerous armed and ready-to-fire launchers directly aimed at Israeli communities in the Galilee area.
Over the past day, the IAF struck dozens of Hezbollah terrorist targets in central and southern Lebanon, including command centers, weapons storage facilities, and many Hezbollah launchers, including those that launched projectiles yesterday (Sunday) toward the Haifa Bay and Sharon areas.

IDF: A short while ago, the IAF conducted intelligence-based strikes on several Hezbollah command centers in the Dahieh area, a key Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut.
Hezbollah deliberately embedded its command centers in civilian areas, using the Lebanese civilian population as a human shield.
Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including collecting prior intelligence, leveraging aerial surveillance, and issuing advance warnings to the civilian population in the area.
These strikes are part of the IDF’s efforts to degrade Hezbollah’s ability to carry out attacks against Israel.
IDF: Following a situational assessment, it was determined that as of this evening (Monday) at 18:00, changes were made to the Home Front Command’s defensive guidelines.
As part of the changes, the activity scale in the areas of the Confrontation Line, Northern Golan and Southern Golan (in the communities of Qatsrin and Kidmat Tsvi) will change from Partial Activity to Limited Activity.
The guidelines published on the official Home Front Command channels must be followed by the public. Full guidelines are updated on the National Emergency Portal and the Home Front Command app.
IDF: IDF Operations Against Iranian Weapons Smuggling Routes via Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon
For decades, the Iranian regime has been acting to fund and supply weapons to its terror proxies across the Middle East, with Hezbollah being its central proxy. Iran cooperated closely with Hezbollah to establish covert routes into Lebanon through Syrian territory, using thousands of trucks and hundreds of aircraft to smuggle thousands of missiles and additional weapon components over the years.
The smuggling route is overseen and used by Iran to arm Hezbollah, with the tacit cooperation of the Syrian authorities. Senior officials in Syria assist in the weapons smuggling effort using two main methods: storing weapons prior to their transfer to Lebanon in Syrian military warehouses, and facilitating transfers through internal crossings within Syria that are managed by the Syrian Military Security Unit.
This effort is led by Hezbollah’s Unit 4400. Established in 2000, the unit is responsible for smuggling weapons into Lebanon from Iran and its proxies and developing numerous strategic smuggling routes along the Syria-Lebanon border.
During the war, the IDF has conducted extensive intelligence-based operations against Unit 4400 and various weapons smuggling routes. These include the elimination of the commander of Unit 4400, Muhammad Ja’far Qasir, in early October in Beirut, and his designated successor, Ali Hassan Gharib, a few weeks later in Damascus. The weapons smuggling routes that pass through Syria into Lebanon were not only targeted in the last few months, but also over the years as part of a long-term effort by the IDF.
A series of strikes that disrupted attempts to transfer weapons through Syrian territory to Hezbollah in Lebanon are now cleared for publication. In this series of strikes, which were made possible due to precise intelligence gathered and developed over many years, the IDF targeted Hezbollah’s ability to expand its weapons arsenal, thereby preventing the terrorist organization from launching further attacks against Israeli civilians.
The IDF will continue to operate to locate and thwart any attempt by the Iranian regime to arm its proxies in the Middle East.

IDF: Initial report – The IDF is currently conducting strikes on Hezbollah terror targets in the area of Beirut. Details to follow.
IDF: The IAF has completed a series of intelligence-based strikes on 20 terror targets in the area of Beirut. These strikes included 13 terror targets in the Dahieh area, a key Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut. Among the targets struck were a Hezbollah aerial defense unit center, an intelligence center, command centers, weapons storage facilities, an operations room, an artillery storage facility, and terrorist infrastructure sites.
Seven other targets struck were components of Hezbollah’s financial system, including headquarters, storage facilities, and branches of the Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association, which are used by Hezbollah to collect and store its terrorist funds. Several days ago, the Minister of Defense announced financial sanctions on 24 senior depositors of the Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association due to their involvement in terror funding.
Hezbollah has consistently exploited the people of Lebanon, including by funneling funds into its own pockets and establishing a parallel economic system dedicated to its terrorist operations.
IDF: Following the sirens that sounded between 16:44 and 16:45 in the Haifa Bay area, five projectiles that crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory were intercepted by the IAF.
Additionally, following the sirens that sounded between 16:28 and 16:41 in the Upper and Western Galilee areas, approximately five projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon. Some of the projectiles were intercepted and fallen projectiles were identified.
IDF: Over the past day (Tuesday), the IAF struck approximately 20 launchers, including the launchers used to fire toward the Haifa Bay and Western Galilee areas earlier today.
Moreover, over the past day, the IAF struck Hezbollah terror targets in the areas of Naqoura and Yater in southern Lebanon, including weapons storage facilities and command centers. In addition, the IAF struck a terrorist infrastructure site belonging to Hezbollah’s aerial unit, which is responsible for launching UAVs toward Israeli territory, among other terrorist activities.
Attached is a video of the strike on the launcher used to fire toward the Haifa Bay area earlier today: https://videoidf.azureedge.net/01ae7eca-5394-404f-b260-8160c9935e73
IDF: Following the sirens that sounded between 19:44 and 19:45 in the Upper and Western Galilee areas, approximately 15 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon and fell in open areas.
IDF: The IAF conducted intelligence-based strikes on nine terror targets that were components of Hezbollah’s financial management and systems in the areas of Beirut, Sidon, Tyre, and Beqaa, in continuation of earlier strikes. The targets included a storage facility, branches of the Al-Qard Al-Hassan association, and the ‘Al-Insaf’ money exchange office which was used to fund Hezbollah’s military activities.
IDF: Initial report – Sirens sounded in a number of areas in central and northern Israel following projectiles that crossed from Lebanon, the public is requested to continue following the Home Front Command guidelines.
