Terror in E minor
"Hezbollah's allegiance is and has always been to the Supreme Leader of Iran and not to the Lebanese people. It continues to establish its forces in southern Lebanon and is building terror and rocket infrastructure inside villages in violation of U.N. Resolution 1701.”
RIGHT NOW: Sirens sounding across southern Israel🚨
Our soldiers just caught a Palestinian from #Gaza who breached the border fence with #Israel & made his way towards an Israeli community. We are examining a fire at a nearby greenhouse that the terrorist appears to have ignited.
IDF soldiers just identified a suspect who crossed the security fence from Lebanon into Israeli territory. The suspect was apprehended by our troops near the security fence adjacent to the village of Ghajar, and was transferred to security forces for further questioning.
🚨AIR-RAID SIRENS SOUNDING ACROSS SOUTHERN ISRAEL🚨
Before she was a world renowned sex therapist, Holocaust survivor @AskDrRuth was a sniper in the Hagana, a pre-IDF defense organization! Pretty amazing right!?
Overnight, 45 rockets were launched toward Israeli territory. Civilians in southern Israel have 15 seconds to get to shelter in time. Would you make it?
This is what it looks like 80+ feet underground, inside a Hezbollah attack tunnel dug from under a home in #Lebanon into #Israel. #NorthernShield
A short while ago, IDF aircraft fired towards a vehicle used by a Gazan rocket launching squad to launch a rocket at Israeli territory
1 rocket was just fired from #Gaza at Israeli civilians. This marks the 8th launch from Gaza into #Israel in just 24 hours.
RIGHT NOW: Heavy barrage of rockets being fired at southern Israel from #Gaza.
IDF Head of the Manpower Directorate (J1) MG Yaniv Asor visited the family of the late SGT Noa Lazar, a few minutes after the family was informed of the terrorist's neutralization last night. 1/3
We’ve been in this game for years. Now, it’s your turn. Play your hand in #IranAgainstHumanity, our take on @CAH, by filling in the blank:
The Chief of the Hellenic National Defense General Staff, General Konstantinos Floros @ChiefHNDGS, visited IDF Intelligence Directorate Unit 9900 today as part of his visit to Israel. 1/3
1/ IDF Chief of the General Staff LTG Aviv Kohavi hosted Chairman of @thejointstaff Gen. Mark A. Milley & US Staff Sgt. Jarelle Turner, a MFO peacekeeper who survived the deadly helicopter crash in November, for a candle lighting ceremony on the 8th & final night of Hanukkah.
In response to the attempted attack, IDF helicopters targeted two Hamas military posts in Gaza. Hamas will bear the consequences of its actions.
IDF and Israeli security forces conducted counterterrorism activities in Judea and Samaria overnight. 2 senior Islamic Jihad terrorist operatives were killed during an exchange of fire, 9 terrorist suspects were apprehended and 3 M-16 rifles and a gun were confiscated.
The IDF sends its condolences to the families of the Multinational Force & Observers (MFO) personnel from @USNationalGuard, @armeedeterre & @ArmadaCR who died in a helicopter crash today. This event is a tragedy for the MFO, who work to promote stability between Israel & Egypt.
5:40am 🚨Air-raid sirens sounding across southern Israel at this very moment🚨
Hezbollah’s attack yesterday emphasizes the need for UNIFIL’s enforcement & Lebanon’s adherence to UNSCR 1701. As such, the meeting between IDF Chief of General Staff, LTG Aviv Kohavi & UNIFIL commander, Gen. Stefano Del Col yesterday was especially significant.
It was a pleasure to host and discuss strategic challenges with the Commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, the @US5thFleet and Combined Maritime Forces, Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, in Israel. Here's to strengthening ties between the U.S. 5th Fleet and the Israeli Navy!
From picking up trash to turning off the lights: small acts = HUGE DIFFERENCE Together, we can make our 🌎 a better place this #EarthDay
