🔴IDF troops identified and downed a drone crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory a short while ago. 🔴The drone most likely belongs to the Hezbollah terrorist organization. 🔴We will continue to prevent any attempts to violate Israeli sovereignty.

@UNRWA found this sunken area following the collapse of a Hamas terrorist tunnel under one of its globally-funded schools in Gaza. How many times must we condemn terrorist orgs in Gaza for using civilians as human shields before the world realizes they do this deliberately?
