During a Syrian surface-to-air missile launching, one launch was identified towards an open area in the Golan Heights. At this point, it remains unclear if the launch indeed landed in Israeli territory. IDF troops are searching the area.
Reports regarding an IDF aircraft or an airborne IDF target having been hit are false.
Happy first night of #Hanukkah from the IDF!

We surprised this Hezbollah operative before he could surprise Israeli civilians. Take a look at what we caught on camera from inside an attack tunnel dug from Lebanon into Israel. #NorthernShield
Take a closer look at Israel’s border with Lebanon. It’s more than what meets the eye... #NorthernShield
We couldn't make this up if we tried: yesterday was #WorldTunnelDay, celebrating tunnels around the world. It was also the day we launched Operation #NorthernShield to destroy Hezbollah attack tunnels from Lebanon into Israel. If only Israelis could celebrate tunnels..
Iran annually funnels $1 billion to Hezbollah in Lebanon for terror - including attack tunnels into #Israel. This money is equivalent to: 333,333,333 @McDonalds Happy Meals. Let that sink in. #CondemnTheTunnels
Iran annually funnels $1 billion to Hezbollah in Lebanon for terror - including attack tunnels into #Israel. This money is equivalent to: 3,703,703 annual @WSJ subscriptions. Let that sink in. #CondemnTheTunnels
Hezbollah blatantly violates @UN Resolution 1701, including breaching Israeli sovereignty for the sake of harming Israeli civilians. Hezbollah must be stopped. #CondemnTheTunnels CC: @UN @unifil @antonioguterres @StephDujarric @Tenenti
Israel, Lebanon, and the international community accepted UNSCR 1701. Hezbollah defies it again and again. They must be stopped. #UNenforced #CondemnTheTunnels
Look at your next-door neighbors’ houses. If you were living in southern Lebanon, at least one of you would have Hezbollah terror assets in your basement. #UNenforced #CondemnTheTunnels
The CO of the Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Yoel Strik, met with the @UNIFIL_ Commander, Gen. @stefanodelcol from Italy & toured the area of the cross-border attack tunnel that was exposed this week after it was dug from Lebanon into Israel. CC: @UN @LebarmyOfficial
.@UNIFIL_, since you were able to confirm our findings, please review and, well, confirm the obvious: #Hezbollah dug that tunnel from Lebanon into Israel, and this is another of its countless violations of @UN SC resolution #1701. Thank u, next. twitter.com/UNIFIL_/status…
Operation #NorthernShield: Protecting Israelis from a Hezbollah attack. Read about it here: bit.ly/2Sy6buR
Hezbollah wants another war with Israel. This is what can be done to prevent it:
Our troops just exposed a SECOND attack tunnel that Hezbollah dug from Lebanon into Israel. Hezbollah planned to use this tunnel to carry out an attack against Israeli civilians. We won't let them. #NorthernShield
We have placed explosives inside the tunnel. Anyone who enters the tunnel does so at their own risk.
.@elonmusk builds rockets at @SpaceX and digs tunnels at @boringcompany - to help mankind. Hezbollah in Lebanon does the same... to kill Israeli civilians. twitter.com/elonmusk/statu…
.@saadhariri, cancelled his visit to Paris because of the #YellowVest riots & calls the security situation in Paris dangerous. What about the security situation in Lebanon where the terrorist organization Hezbollah digs attack tunnels into Israel? #CondemnTheTunnels twitter.com/Tsahal_IDF/sta…
