The past 14 hours in Israel:

Israeli fighter jets have started striking terror targets in Gaza. This is in response to 10 rockets fired from Gaza at Israeli civilians earlier tonight.
We struck Hamas’ military intelligence HQ in response to the 300+ rockets that terrorists in #Gaza fired at #Israel. This is where Hamas' intelligence operatives gathered information to launch attacks on Israelis. Hamas intentionally established their HQ next to a school.
WATCH: The Hamas propaganda department has directed attacks, instructed how to do them, and broadcasted incitement and violence for years. Tonight, the IDF made sure that this station won’t broadcast again.
Brig. Gen. Yifat Tomer Yerushalmi is making history as the 1st woman to be named Military Advocate General & the 2nd woman to be appointed Major General in the IDF. We salute you, Brig. Gen. Yifat!

Hamas fired 4500+ rockets at Israeli civilians over 11 days in May 2021. One of those rockets hit & injured 90-year-old Holocaust survivor Naomi Pearlman. Today, she sadly succumbed to those injuries & became another victim of Hamas terrorism. May her memory be a blessing.
Hundreds of Christian soldiers serving in the IDF are celebrating Christmas today. We wish them, and all those celebrating around the world, a very #MerryChristmas! 🎄

Today, we found this child’s backpack used by 2 Palestinians to hide guns & ammunition. Our soldiers noticed them acting suspiciously near an Israeli community, found the weapons, and arrested them. A child's backpack should hold books, not weapons.
This French pilot took an epic selfie with his Israeli allies flying alongside him in a joint exercise in Israel this week 🇮🇱🇫🇷 Merci pour le souvenir, @MarineNationale!
Islamic Jihad in Gaza aims to kill Israeli civilians. We. Will. Stop. Them. #JiHadEnough
