Tawfiq Abu Naim is Head of Hamas' Security Forces. We just struck his office that he was using for military infrastructure command & control.
HAPPENING NOW: 40,000 violent rioters in Gaza, some armed with knives, explosives, and grenades, are attempting to breach Israel's border and reach Israeli families on the other side of the fence. If our soldiers weren't there, they could.
Happy New Year, Jews!
Happy 75th #IndianIndependenceDay to our friends in India! 🇮🇱 🇮🇳 स्वतंत्रता दिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ।
IDF fighter jets struck the main operations center of the Hamas internal security forces in northern Gaza. The operations center was a central part of Hamas' terror infrastructure. We provided advance warning to those inside & allowed sufficient time to evacuate.
Not every rocket that Hamas fires at Israel reaches its target. Hundreds of Hamas rockets have fallen in the Gaza Strip, some have crashed into power lines. More than 200,000 people in Gaza are without electricity because of Hamas' rocket fire.
🚨BARRAGES OF ROCKETS ARE BEING FIRED AT ISRAEL FOR THE 9TH NIGHT IN A ROW🚨
1/ Here’s everything you need to know about what’s happening:
Under the direction of @Israel_MOD, Israel has offered humanitarian aid to Turkey, which would include an IDF delegation following the earthquake that struck Izmir, Turkey. Bu zor zamanlarda, yardım için güçlü bir el uzatacağız. 🇮🇱🇹🇷
This is the thread the world needs to see.
BREAKING: A short while ago, three rockets were fired from Lebanon into the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of northern Israel.
An average neighborhood in Gaza: a mosque a kindergarten & a Hamas terror tunnel. While Hamas deliberately embeds its terror infrastructure in civilian areas, the IDF takes all possible precautions to avoid harming civilians when striking.
A Jewish IDF soldier and a Muslim IDF soldier praying together and defending their country together. This is the Israel Defense Forces. Shabbat Shalom and Ramadan Kareem.
Since 8:00 this morning, we have identified and struck 9 underground & above-ground rocket launch sites in Gaza. We will continue to operate against terrorism.
At 6:03pm on Monday, Hamas fired a barrage of rockets at Israeli civilians in Jerusalem. Last night, we struck the multi-barreled rocket launcher that Hamas used to launch those rockets. Terror targets civilians. We target terror.
Just after Israel re-opened the Erez Crossing from Israel into Gaza to allow the entry of civilian aid, a mortar shell was fired at the crossing from Gaza, lightly injuring an IDF soldier. Hamas prioritizes attacks on Israel over humanitarian aid for Gazans.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad continue to fire rockets from Gaza toward Israeli civilians. We will continue defending Israel.
Look closely: This photo was taken right after Hamas launched a barrage of rockets at Israel from a residential area in Gaza. Look what's near the launch site: schools, a UN building, a health center, mosques, and dozens of apartment buildings. Hamas puts everyone in danger.
A Hamas terror squad was about to launch more rockets from Gaza into Israel. We stopped them before they could.
Yesterday, we targeted an important base of operations for Hamas' military intel in Al Jala Tower in Gaza. The base gathered intel for attacks against Israel, manufactured weapons & positioned equipment to hamper IDF operations. (1/3)
May 18: Israel opens the Erez Crossing to give humanitarian aid. Terrorists fire mortar shells at the crossing. May 19: Israel opens the Kerem Shalom Crossing to give humanitarian aid. Terrorists fire mortar shells, again. Hamas is depriving Gazans of vital humanitarian aid.
This is the moment when four terrorists attempted to plant explosives near the security fence between #Israel and #Syria last night... ...and the moment we stopped them. We will continue to defend Israel's borders from all enemy threats.
In response to rockets fired at Israel, we struck Hamas terror targets in Gaza including: 🎯 naval force & training compounds 🎯 compound with anti-missile simulator 🎯weapon manufacturing & storage sites 🎯 underground infrastructures Terror targets civilians We target terror.
Another Islamic Jihad terrorist in Gaza was preparing to fire rockets at Israel. Little did he know that Israel was watching. The terrorist has been eliminated.
Exactly 1 week ago, Hamas fired rockets at Israel's capital, Jerusalem. This is what the week in Israel has looked like since:
