🚨 INITIAL REPORT: Sirens sounded in the Sha'ar HaNegev and Sdot Negev regional councils. Details to follow.
Thank you @NikkiHaley for your service in the @UN and unwavering support for Israel and the truth. The soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces salute you!
After 7 long months, these soldiers are finally ready to search and rescue!
For months, Gazans have been launching arson balloons at Israel, burning more than 8K acres of Israeli land, killing 100s of animals, & endangering 1000s of people. Moments ago, #terrorists launched arson balloons from #Gaza into #Israel. The Israeli Air Force fired towards them.
INITIAL REPORT: A shooting took place in Barkan, near the community of Ariel. There are reports of three casualties. IDF troops and police forces are at the scene.
@amnesty This is @amnesty’s version of a protest:
RIGHT NOW: A mob of approx 20K Gazans are burning tires, throwing bombs and grenades, and attempting to break through the border fence with Israel, which 10 armed terrorists did, until we stopped them. In response, an IDF aircraft carried out two strikes in Gaza.
A Palestinian minor threw a knife at an IDF soldier at a security crossing adjacent to Route 443 in Judea and Samaria. IDF troops are searching the area for the suspect.
The Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot & senior IDF & ISA officials decided to implement wide-scale reinforcements in the Southern Command & to continue acting to thwart terror & infiltrations from Gaza. Hamas is responsible for Gaza and all that emanates from it
.@ItalyinIsrael is awarding the Jewish Brigade the Gold Medal for Military Valor, its highest honor. Thank you #Italy! 🇮🇹🇮🇱
Two Gazans, one of whom was armed with a knife, broke through the border fence from Gaza into Israel. Our troops apprehended them and transferred them to security forces for further questioning.
Do you love coffee as much as our soldiers? Tell us how you like yours ☕ #InternationalCoffeeDay
#CharlesAznavour, the “French Sinatra,” died today. His music and strong bond with Israel and the Jewish people touched the lives of many. May his memory be a blessing.
#Hezbollah has a long history of covering up inconvenient truths and then parading foreign officials around. Maybe this time ask why missile workshop located so close to int’l #airport in heart of #Beirut? #maybethetruththistime
Chag Sameach from the soldiers of the Bardelas Battalion!
Israel’s Minister of Defense, @AvigdorLiberman, & the CO of the Northern Command authorized the reopening of the Alpha gate of the Quneitra Crossing between #Israel and #Syria, allowing the @UN to resume activity via the crossing pending Syria’s reopening their side (Bravo gate).
WATCH: Look at what we found this morning after 20K Palestinians from #Gaza swarmed #Israel’s border fence last night.
Shots were fired at an IDF post near Jalazone refugee camp, north of Jerusalem last night. No injuries or damage reported.
@cnnbrk It’s not the fence that separates between the mob of 20,000 armed and violent Gazans and the Israeli families living less than a mile away, it is us. We are the last line of defense between Israeli civilians and terrorists like this:
Now imagine that you care more about terrorizing someone else’s children than protecting your own children. That’s exactly the Hamas leaders in Gaza - today and every day.
IMAGINE: A mob of 20K people, throwing bombs & grenades, attempting to reach your home. The people of southern Israel don’t have to imagine; this is happening right now on Israel’s border fence with Gaza. Our troops are there to do what is necessary to protect Israeli civilians.
Shabbat Shalom from the Israeli-Egyptian border!
