IDF Spokesman: "We have completed the dismantling of the military infrastructure of Hamas in the northern Gaza Strip.”

In northern Gaza:

- 2 Hamas brigades
- 12 Hamas battalions
- 14,000 Hamas terrorists
- 8,000 terrorists killed
- 30,000 weapons confiscated

IDF Spokesman: "Now we are focusing on dismantling Hamas in the center of the Gaza Strip and in the south of the Gaza Strip. We will do it in a different way. The center is crowded and full of terrorists. Khan Yunis has an underground city of branching tunnels. It takes time, there are no shortcuts in the fight against terrorism.”

‼️ One seriously wounded in a terrorist shooting north of Jerusalem.

There are also reports of a possible shooting attack in or near Beitar Illit south of Jerusalem.

‼️ One confirmed dead in the shooting north of Jerusalem. The victim is a 30-year-old Israeli Arab man.

Four Israeli Border Guard troops were wounded by an IED during a counter-terrorism operation in the northern Samaria town of Jenin overnight.

One of them has now been confirmed killed: Shai Garmai.

May her memory be a blessing.

Israel threatened to return Gaza to the Stone Age if Hamas attacked.

Sirens sounded this morning across northern Israel. Yesterday, Hezbollah stated that it had executed the "initial phase" of its response to Israeli strikes by launching over 60 missiles and mortars.

Will today see a further escalation in the north?

It was a false alarm

An Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. official tells Al Jazeera that Hamas will be supplied with anti-aircraft systems in the future to deal with Israeli airstrikes.

Another reason why Hamas must be defeated and eliminated now.

American media is suggesting that Netanyahu might go to war in Lebanon for his own political survival. (Channel 12)

This is a gross mischaracterization of the situation.

Whatever Netanyahu's personal motivations, the fact is that some 80,000 Israelis can't return home because Hezbollah is effectively holding northern Israel hostage.

After October 7, no Israeli is willing to live with a heavily-armed terrorist organization bent on the Jewish state's destruction just on the other side of the border.

We now know what they are capable of.

All of Israel is united in its insistence that Hezbollah must be pushed north of the Litani River, if not removed entirely as a threat.

Washington Post: If Israel goes to war against Lebanon, over 500,000 will die.

Pressure is building on Israel to simply accept the new reality, even if Western leaders are not saying as much, yet.

But it is a situation that cannot be accepted.

At present, Israel has effectively lost the Upper Galilee. That is an outcome no Israeli government can live with.

It's getting less attention than the war in Gaza, but the IDF is fully at war with the Palestinian terrorist infrastructure in Judea and Samaria, too.

There was a car-ramming terror attack in northern Jerusalem this afternoon.

Other officers at the scene opened fire, neutralizing the terrorists. But they inadvertently also hit and wounded a Palestinian girl in another vehicle.
