On the International Day of Remembrance & Tribute to the #VictimsofTerrorism, we commemorate victims of terrorist atrocities around the world.

16 people joined the long list of terror victims in Israel since last year.

May the memory of all victims of terrorism be a blessing🕯️

Iran's FM Zarif is being welcomed by European leaders on the day when the world marks International Day of Remembrance & Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism. Many of them are victims of terror attacks PERPETRATED BY IRAN and its proxies on European soil & around the world.

A 17 year old Israeli, Rina Shnerb (📷), was killed, her father & her brother were seriously injured this morning in a terrorist IED blast which took place while they were at a natural spring near the community of Dolev.

We send our prayers for a quick recovery to those injured, our thoughts are with the family & friends of those hurt in this horrific attack.

Palestinian terrorists fired three rockets tonight from Gaza, targeting civilians at a music show in the Israeli city of Sderot.

Israel will not hesitate to defend itself from Iran’s terrorist henchmen, Hamas in Gaza or Quds Force in Syria.

The EU statement utterly fails to address Israel’s security challenges.

Contributing to regional stability must begin with an honest appraisal of these challenges.

Our Ambassador to the EU demands explanations over this statement.

MFA press release - UNIFIL's mandate renewal:

Israel appreciates the efforts made by the USA and other countries to guarantee better implementation of UNIFIL's mandate in south Lebanon.

The restrictions posed by Hezbollah and the State of Lebanon on UNIFIL continue to significantly hinder the full and effective implementation of its mandate.

New and disturbing evidence of Hezbollah attacking UNIFIL soldiers and obstructing them from executing their mandate was revealed yesterday. This evidence should have pushed those who care about the safety and stability of Lebanon to use this mandate renewal opportunity to take a stronger position on the fundamental issue of ensuring full access to the force.

Should these restrictions remain, UNIFIL’s relevance is questionable.

Hezbollah just took responsibility for firing anti-tank missiles from Lebanon towards IDF military vehicles.

Hezbollah’s terrorist activities jeopardize the security of civilians in Israel, Lebanon & the entire region.

Israel will take all measures necessary to protect its citizens.

Israel is proud to welcome Ethiopia's Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed Ali, the 4th Ethiopian PM to visit Israel, reaching yet another milestone in the ancient friendship between our peoples 🇮🇱🇪🇹

Further to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s conversation with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Security Council and the Ministry of Public Security are acting to extend immediate assistance to Brazil to combat the devastating fires in the country. Israel will dispatch a delegation of firefighters from the Israel Fire and Rescue Services who specialize in bush and forest fires.

The delegation, which is expected to depart for Brazil this evening (Tuesday, 3 September 2019), will provide assistance and professional know-how to the Brazilian authorities, including the Brazilian government and military and firefighting authorities who are combatting the fires.

The Israeli delegation, comprised of 11 experts in the fields of rescue, intelligence and bush and forest fires, will be headed by Commander Yair Elkayam, Deputy Commander of the Northern District.

Fire and Rescue Commissioner Dedy Simhi is directing preparations in Israel, while the Israeli embassy and the IDF Military Attaché in Brasilia are coordinating with the Brazilian authorities.

Over the past year Israel’s relations with Brazil were greatly strengthened following PM Netanyahu’s visit to Brazil and President Bolsonaro’s visit to Israel, which included a visit to the Israel Police Counter Terrorism Unit.

The countries have close political and strategic cooperation in various fields, and many agreements have been signed in the fields of agriculture, science, health, cyber and more. These agreements contribute to Israeli exports to the largest Latin American country.

For five years, Hamas terrorists have been holding Avera Mengistu in captivity in Gaza.

Avera, an Israeli civilian with special needs, is held in violation of all humanitarian norms.

The international community must act to #FreeAvera, along with the Israeli national Hisham al-Sayed & the bodies of IDF soldiers Hadar Goldin & Oron Shaul, all held by Hamas in Gaza.

The Iranian Regime is using proxies in Lebanon 🇱🇧 , Syria 🇸🇾, Yemen 🇾🇪 and Iraq 🇮🇶 to destabilize the Middle East, one attack at a time.

Iran heavily relies on its largest proxy, Lebanon-based terrorist organization Hezbollah, to spread violence and war in the region. In the past three decades, Hezbollah has killed and injured thousands of Israelis in rocket attacks, suicide bombings and kidnappings.

The Iranian proxy's ongoing activities in Lebanon and around the 🌎 endanger Lebanese and Israeli civilians and pose a grave threat to regional stability.

WATCH: Iran's top diplomats lie about the regime's nuclear program at Turquzabad.

The only way to stop Iran's dangerous nuclear ambitions is through decisive international pressure.

Israel welcomes the Universal Postal Union's rejection of the Palestinian application to join the organization.
