Our aircraft just neutralized an Islamic Jihad Anti-Tank Missile operative in Gaza.
We just struck yet another squad of Hamas terrorists in Gaza aiming Anti-Tank missiles at Israel.
See it with your own eyes: Hamas turned a civilian structure in Gaza into a rocket launch site ready to fire rockets at Israel. Under intl. law, a civilian structure used for military purposes is a legitimate military target. We gave civilians time to evacuate, and then...
Hamas is using children as human shields. Hamas has been using a school—in close proximity to civilian buildings including a hospital—to hide a terror tunnel. We neutralized the terror tunnel so that Hamas can no longer hide behind innocent children.
More rockets are being fired at southern Israel from Gaza. An important reminder: 4,340+ rockets have been fired at Israel since last Monday by terrorists in Gaza.
This is history. The moment the Israeli Air Force, led by Maj. Gen. Amikam Norkin, entered into German airspace for the first time ever & was welcomed by the Luftwaffe Commander, Lt. Gen. Ingo Gerhatz:
We just thwarted an attempt by Hamas terrorists to launch a drone armed with explosives from Gaza City at Israel. The drone fell on the launch squad and killed two Hamas operatives.
This is the moment we targeted Islamic Jihad Northern Division Commander in Gaza, Hussam Abu Harbid. As an Islamic Jihad commander for 15 years, he was behind rocket launches, shootings, & anti-tank missile attacks on Israel. He won't be committing any more terrorist attacks.
Never Again.
Saving lives isn’t about how large the distance is, it’s about how far you’re willing to go. #IDFinBrazil 🇧🇷🇮🇱
BREAKING: We just prevented a pending, large-scale attack of multiple killer drones on Israel by striking Iranian Quds Force operatives and Shiite Militia targets in Syria.
Hamas created fake social media profiles, using photos including this one, in an attempt to hack the phones of IDF soldiers. What Hamas didn’t know was that Israeli intelligence caught onto their plot, tracked the malware & downed Hamas’ hacking system. #CatfishCaught
We have just started striking Hamas targets throughout the Gaza Strip.
38 hours 1050+ rockets across central and southern Israel This. Must. Stop.
Here's some important context to the headlines you’re seeing about Israel Defense Forces operations in the Gaza Strip ⬇
We were trying to tweet about more rockets being fired at Israel by Islamic Jihad in Gaza, but @Twitter kept blocking our tweet for being repetitive. It is repetitive. But it’s important. Please RT.
How it started: How it's going:
Israel fights to protect its civilians. Hamas uses civilians to protect itself.
Never Again.
We struck military assets in Hamas' intelligence HQ in northern Gaza, significantly harming the terrorist organization's central infrastructure.
On this #MemorialDay, we stand with the United States of America remembering the men and women who fell while serving to defend freedom. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten. 🇺🇸🇮🇱
Today is Shabbat, the day of rest, but people living in southern Israel haven't had the chance to. For the 5th morning in a row, civilians are waking up and running to shelters to protect themselves from incoming rocket fire from Gaza.
We just identified a number of terrorists from Gaza approaching Israel, armed with AK-47 assault rifles, RPG grenade launchers & grenades—one of which was thrown. Once one of the terrorists crossed into Israel, our troops opened fire. The terrorists were neutralized.
In response to the continuing rocket attacks from Gaza at Israel, we struck the entrance of a Hamas tunnel containing military equipment, as well as Hamas Internal Security's offices in Gaza.
