Today, approx 13K Gazans rioted along the security fence with Israel - they threw rocks, 2 grenades and bombs, one injuring an IDF officer. 9 Gazans breached the fence, but were stopped before they could reach Israeli homes. Our forces struck 2 Hamas posts in Gaza in response.
Shabbat Shalom from the oldest brigade in the IDF!
Hamas has once again shown its true face as IDF troops found yet another explosive device that Gazan terrorists placed next to the security fence with Israel. That makes two bombs found this week, and two potential attacks that we thwarted.
Two years, thousands treated, tons donated, this is Operation Good Neighbor’s legacy:
For 5 years, the IDF provided medical services to over 7,000 injured Syrians. We helped because it’s the right thing to do. We called it Operation Good Neighbor.
Top: Gaza riot. Bottom: Bomb placed by terrorists adjacent to the Gaza-Israel security fence during a Gaza riot. If Hamas isn't willing to share their true intentions, we’ll do it for them. P.S. We just thwarted the attack.
Since Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005, this is what Gaza has become... #FreeGazaFromHamas
Today, we remember #NeverForget #September11th
Simultaneously, thousands of Gazans are rioting along Israel’s coastal border, where a bomb was just thrown towards our soldiers. We are responding with riot dispersal means and standard operating procedures. At sea or on land, we will protect our civilians.
This afternoon, dozens of rioters set sail on boats from Gaza attempting to invade Israel. As the naval riot approached Israeli waters, our troops fired warning shots in the air and near the boats. The boats returned to Gaza.
Can you hear that?! It’s the sound of Rosh Hashanah starting! 🎉
Happy Rosh Hashana from our family to yours! 🍎🍯🍏
We would like to reiterate that the area of the Israel-Gaza security fence is an unsafe area. Those who riot in this area, are throwing bombs, grenades or trying to invade Israel; or are standing beside those who are doing so, and are putting their lives at risk.
During the riots along the security fence in the Gaza Strip yesterday, IDF soldiers faced a large, violent crowd of Gazans who went on the attack for hours on end, hurling bombs and grenades. We responded with riot dispersal means and standard operating procedures.
Moments ago, four Palestinians, armed with a knife and an ax, attempted to break through the security fence from Gaza into Israel, less than a mile away from Israeli families. We stopped them.
Since March, Gazans have violently rioted along the security fence every Friday and today was no exception. The rioters rolled burning tires and threw rocks, firebombs, and a grenade at IDF troops who responded with riot dispersal means.
These Field Intelligence soldiers want to wish you Shabbat Shalom!
