IDF: Materials for manufacturing high-powered explosives and IED’s: IDF soldiers dismantled an explosives manufacturing lab in Tulkarem
Following an intelligence indication, IDF soldiers located and dismantled yesterday (Friday) an explosives manufacturing lab in Tulkarem.
During the activity, IDF soldiers located numerous amounts of weapons and materials used to produce explosive devices in the lab, including:
* Improvised explosive devices (IEDs), including approximately 200 pipe bombs
* Fire extinguishers intended to be used as explosive charges attached to vehicles
* Large gas cylinders with the potential to be used as under-vehicle explosive devices intended to target armored vehicles
* More than 50 kilograms of improvised explosive material
The explosives made in the lab were intended to target IDF soldiers operating in Judea and Samaria and to be used for carrying out terror attacks against Israeli civilians. The laboratory had been operating prior to the start of the IDF’s counterterrorism activity in northern Samaria.
IDF operational activity in the area has been ongoing for more than a year, during which troops have located ammunition, weapons, and explosive devices used by terrorist networks in the area that posed a threat to Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.
The IDF will continue to act to prevent any harm to Israeli civilians and security forces.

IDF: Following the clarification that was issued, it should be emphasized that the Chief of the General Staff referred to the need for conscription legislation that would address the IDF’s immediate and urgent operational needs, as presented over the past year and since assuming his position. The Chief of the General Staff did not express support for any specific conscription law.
The Chief of the General Staff warned during Cabinet discussions that beginning in January 2027, the length of mandatory service is expected to be reduced to 30 months. This reduction in force levels, alongside an increase in the scope of IDF missions, will place an unreasonable burden on reservists.
Therefore, the Chief of the General Staff emphasized the need to advance a comprehensive legislative solution, including extending mandatory service to 36 months, updating the Reserve Service Law, and establishing a framework that would enable an increase in the number of recruits to the IDF in order to meet its expanding missions.
The IDF will continue to present its professional requirements to the political echelon.

IDF: Weapons cache discovered inside hospital used by Hezbollah for terrorist activity in Bint Jbeil
Over the past week, Givati Brigade soldiers identified Hezbollah terrorist activity from within the government hospital in Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon.
In the past few days, several Hezbollah terrorists were identified conducting surveillance from a hospital window and firing towards IDF soldiers in the area. Following the immediate identification of the threat, the soldiers eliminated the terrorists. Additionally, in order to remove the immediate threat, approximately 20 terrorists were precisely eliminated within the hospital compound.
The soldiers operating in the hospital compound located a cache of weapons inside the facility.
The Hezbollah terrorist organization systematically and repeatedly used the hospital compound and its immediate surroundings for military purposes, constituting a serious violation of international law.
Among the uses identified within the hospital compound:
* The transfer of weapons through the hospital compound
* The storage of weapons within the hospital compound
* The use of hospital facilities as observation posts, concealment positions, and shelter for operatives
Hezbollah systematically exploits medical facilities and ambulances for military purposes, thereby violating international law and endangering the civilian population.
The IDF operates in accordance with international law, and clarified prior to the operation to the relevant Lebanese authorities that all military activity within hospitals in Lebanon must cease, and disseminated these warnings through various channels. Despite this, Hezbollah continued to use the hospital for military activity.
The IDF views with severity the cynical use by the Hezbollah terrorist organization of civilian infrastructure, including medical institutions, for military purposes, placing patients, medical staff, and civilians at risk, in violation of international law.

IDF: Chief of the General Staff during a situational assessment and approval of future operational plans: “As we sit and plan the continuation of the operation in which we are currently engaged, on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day I cannot help but reflect on us and on the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces — and on the magnitude of the historic responsibility resting on our shoulders during this time.”
“On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day—the message from here is clear and unequivocal: We will not be deterred! We will look every threat in the eye and eliminate it in advance”
The Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir, held today (Monday) a situational assessment and continued operational planning for Iran and additional arenas with the General Staff Forum.
From the remarks of the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir: “As we sit and plan the continuation of the operation in which we are currently engaged, on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day I cannot help but reflect on us and on the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces — and on the magnitude of the historic responsibility resting on our shoulders during this time.”
On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day - we are discussing the reinforcement of our high level of readiness and our preparations for the continuation of the campaign. Eighty-one years have passed since the end of the Second World War. From a persecuted and defenseless people, we are now fighting a major and consequential campaign to remove existential threats from the State of Israel and the Jewish people.
We are facing a multi-arena operation, unprecedented in the history of our people and among nations, against enemies with whom we share borders alongside distant enemies seeking to destroy us. We are defeating Iran and its proxies, we have struck them hard and dismantled their military capabilities.
The regime in Iran, which called and acted for our destruction, is a cruel dictatorship - we were not deterred by it. We stood firm in defense of our fate and struck them.
Today, the Jewish people have a powerful defensive force against those who seek to destroy us. We will not be deterred by our enemies - our fate is in our hands. This evening, more than ever, it is appropriate that we remember the six million, and alongside that, remember the historic privilege we have been given to defend the Jewish people with strength.
I look at the excellent group here, I look at IDF soldiers in the air, on land, at sea, and across all branches and I am proud of you - the highest-quality, unprecedented, and strongest defensive force in Jewish history.
“On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day—the message from here is clear and unequivocal:
We will not be deterred!

On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day - we are discussing the reinforcement of our high level of readiness and our preparations for the continuation of the campaign. Eighty-one years have passed since the end of the Second World War. From a persecuted and defenseless people, we are now fighting a major and consequential campaign to remove existential threats from the State of Israel and the Jewish people.
We are facing a multi-arena operation, unprecedented in the history of our people and among nations, against enemies with whom we share borders alongside distant enemies seeking to destroy us. We are defeating Iran and its proxies, we have struck them hard and dismantled their military capabilities.
The regime in Iran, which called and acted for our destruction, is a cruel dictatorship - we were not deterred by it. We stood firm in defense of our fate and struck them.
Today, the Jewish people have a powerful defensive force against those who seek to destroy us. We will not be deterred by our enemies - our fate is in our hands. This evening, more than ever, it is appropriate that we remember the six million, and alongside that, remember the historic privilege we have been given to defend the Jewish people with strength.
I look at the excellent group here, I look at IDF soldiers in the air, on land, at sea, and across all branches and I am proud of you - the highest-quality, unprecedented, and strongest defensive force in Jewish history.
“On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day—the message from here is clear and unequivocal:
We will not be deterred!
We will look every threat in the eye and eliminate it in advance”
