BREAKING: 2 rockets were fired from Lebanon toward northern Israel. 1 of the rockets was intercepted by the Iron Dome Aerial Defense System & the 2nd rocket fell in an open area inside Israel. We remain prepared to defend Israel on all fronts.
On this day in 1967, the soldiers of the IDF Paratroopers Brigade heroically liberated the Old City of Jerusalem and reunified Israel's capital. Today on Jerusalem Day, we honor the soldiers who fought for Jerusalem’s liberation—and the soldiers who continue to protect it today.
The Jewish New Year began with the sound of the shofar:
“Every dream can be fulfilled, especially in the IDF, which doesn’t distinguish between a woman, a man, a Muslim, a Christian, a Druze… We all have opportunities to fulfill ourselves.” Congratulations to Maj. Ella, who is now the highest-ranking Muslim Arab woman in the IDF!
If Hamas raises generations of children to be violent, how will we ever achieve peace? Hamas encourages women and children to participate in violent riots along Gaza’s border with Israel. These children should be taught to value peace, not hatred.
After terrorists in Gaza fired a barrage of rockets at central and southern Israel over the past few hours, we just struck 3 Hamas terrorists in Gaza. We hold the Palestinian terror group Hamas in Gaza accountable for this serious aggression against us.
Meet Maj. (Res.) Yehoshua Yehezkeli. He is a father of 4, grandfather of 16, and one of our longest-serving reservists. Yehoshua has now spent 50 years defending the people of Israel. We think that deserves a like.
Sergeant Noa wasn't just the only female soldier in the Infantry Sniper Course... She was also the #1 soldier in the course! Let’s show some ❤ to Noa and all the women who protect the State of Israel!
On Yom Kippur, the holiest holiday in the Jewish calendar, our soldiers wish you all a meaningful and reflective day.

Terrorists in Gaza launched explosive balloons into Israel throughout the day. In response, our aircraft just struck Hamas underground terror infrastructure in Gaza. We won't let Hamas terrorize Israeli civilians.
As thousands of Israeli families got ready for the Sabbath dinner, 11K Gazans rioted minutes away on the Israel-Gaza border fence, throwing explosives & grenades. Our soldiers are there to ensure that no terrorists harm Israeli families. A duty that we proudly fulfill.
We are currently striking Islamic Jihad terror targets in Gaza. This comes after rockets were indiscriminately fired from Gaza at Israeli civilians today.

What keeps this father going? Knowing he’s protecting his loved ones. Happy #FathersDay to all of the fathers keeping the people of Israel safe.
A flag is more than just cloth and ink. A flag is the symbol of what we stand for: our values, our history, and our people. It reminds us of our mission. So we'll keep on flying the flag—today and every day. Shabbat Shalom 🇮🇱
As Israelis prepared to celebrate the Jewish New Year today, Hamas launched arson balloons and ignited fires in Israel with the intention of terrorizing civilians. In response, we struck a Hamas rocket manufacturing site and military compound in Gaza.
Last night, a rocket fired from Gaza struck a school and synagogue in Israel. A short while ago, we struck Hamas terror targets in Gaza. Terror targets civilians, Israel targets terror.
These soldiers surprised their moms and their reactions are priceless. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there ♥️
Last night, 2 rockets were launched from Syria to Israel, 1 landing within Israeli territory. In response, we struck a number of Syrian Armed Forces military targets.
