Good afternoon @UNGeneva, @UN_HRC, @SantiagoACanton. We hope you had a nice weekend. If you had spent it here in Israel, it would have looked like this:

The deployment of this American system in Israel emphasizes the US’s commitment to the defense and security of Israel. It‘s also an opportunity for the IDF to practice integrating advanced American air defense systems into the IAF Air Defense Array.
2053
The @US_EUCOM is currently conducting a missile defense system (THAAD) exercise deployment in Israel, which is part of US efforts to implement its operational concept & mission to assist in Israel’s aerial defense.

Moments ago, a cluster of balloons carrying an explosive device was launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israel.
In response, IDF helicopters struck two Hamas military posts in Gaza.
2055
RAMMING ATTACK: IDF soldiers who stopped on the side of the road NW of Ramallah were run over by terrorists. In response, the troops fired towards the terrorists, neutralizing 2 of them & lightly injuring another.
Additional troops are on the way to the scene.
2056

In response, an IDF aircraft targeted a Hamas military post in the northern Gaza Strip.
2057
Earlier today, a cluster of balloons carrying an explosive device was launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israel.
In response, an IDF aircraft targeted a Hamas military post in the southern Gaza Strip.

The @UN says these “demonstrations” aim to make a political point. How often does political activity involve breaking through a border with knives while shouting death threats?

While orchestrating the riots on Israel's border, Hamas was also responsible for firing over 1,300 rockets and mortars from Gaza into Israel during 2018. The number of times that this was mentioned in the @UN_HRC report? Zero.

The only @UN_HRC recommendation for Hamas was to stop "the use of incendiary kites and balloons." How about also recommending that Hamas stops inciting Gazans to breach Israel’s border to kill Jews?
Just a “recommendation.”
2061
In the Commission's view, the “demonstrations” were “civilian in nature.” Yet Hamas leaders themselves contradicted them...while speaking AT the riots:

For almost a year, Israel has been contending with organized violence and military attacks led by Hamas on Israel’s border. For more information, videos, and previously unreleased intelligence, see our website: bit.ly/GazaFAQ
2063
Our fighter jets & helicopters struck a number of Hamas targets in Gaza in response to the explosive balloons that were launched from Gaza earlier tonight and damaged an Israeli home.
2064
Take a close look at this picture.
The front window of this Israeli home was shattered by explosives attached to balloons that were launched from Gaza. Terrorists in Gaza have been launching balloons like these for almost a year.
RT if you want to see an end to terror.

One month ago today, 130 of our soldiers flew to Brazil on a humanitarian mission #IDFinBrazil

Today marks the end of a 3-day surprise exercise of air, naval, and ground forces that focused on one thing: Readiness.
2067
During a live report, our soldiers had to ask @FoxNews reporter @TreyYingst to leave the location he was reporting from due to rioters throwing grenades & IEDs.
The distance he was standing from the Gaza border fence is the same distance some Israeli families live from it too.
2068
Parents in Israel have to warn their children to stay away from balloons because Gazans launch them into Israel with explosives attached to them. Just like they did today with these.
In response, IDF aircraft struck a Hamas military post.
2069
This soldier has a secret weapon to help her defend Israel 👁

As thousands of Israeli families got ready for the Sabbath dinner, 11K Gazans rioted minutes away on the Israel-Gaza border fence, throwing explosives & grenades.
Our soldiers are there to ensure that no terrorists harm Israeli families. A duty that we proudly fulfill.
2073
At a rally marking the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, these children answered questions about Iran's future.
Their answers speak volumes about Iran’s future...
