Attached are the full remarks of the Chief of the General Staff: “We currently have seven divisions operating on the ground: three in the Gaza Strip—in the south, center and north of the Gaza Strip—and four divisions operating here, while the IDF is active in many other areas with ground and aerial forces, intelligence, and special operations across numerous arenas. We continue to operate against the enemy and will not stop until we ensure that we can safely return the residents, not just now, but with a future outlook. If anyone considers rebuilding these villages again, they will know that it’s not worth constructing terrorist infrastructure because the IDF will neutralize them again. We are operating across all arenas, both in the Beqaa Valley and in Beirut, north and south of the Litani, and all these efforts are working very effectively. What you are doing here is the most important component for bringing the residents back. These are special days and holidays, and we are all focused on our mission so that the residents of Israel can celebrate the holidays and live here securely for years to come”.

Attached are the full remarks of the Director of the ISA: “The State of Israel cannot protect its residents from terrorists solely with shopping-mall security guards, nor defend against rockets only by building shelters. The solution must be found in the terrorists’ nests and production lines. Therefore, on a peaceful border, defense is on one side; on a wartime border, defense must be on both sides of the border with freedom of action. In the last few years, we have seen Hamas entrench itself in Lebanon, and this will intensify as they move out of Gaza and their focus shifts here. We will continue to pursue them everywhere. We will always remember the massacre of October 7th, and we will ensure they remember the lesson of October 8th”.


IDF: As of 15:00 today (Friday, October 11th), approximately 65 projectiles fired by the Hezbollah terrorist organization crossed from Lebanon into Israel.

The IDF will continue to defend the State of Israel and its people against the threat posed by the Hezbollah terrorist organization.


IDF: In accordance with the situational assessment, the IDF is calling up a number of companies for defensive missions in the Central Command.
The reinforcements will enable strengthening the defense of the communities in the area, the security fence, and the forces’ preparedness for different scenarios in the area.
