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.
653
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.

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:

This is a video of Gazan rioters throwing an explosive at an IDF jeep. @UNGeneva, is this what you meant when you said that these riots posed no threat?
656
.@UNGeneva, turn up your sound for a bit and listen. This is what Israelis heard on Friday night as Gazan rioters blew holes in the fence with the aim of breaching the border and reaching the homes of the families living in the communities nearby.
657
Terror orgs in Gaza take pride in their terrorist activity. This “promo” video released last week by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad highlights rockets, tunnels, mortars, & attacks on IDF soldiers defending the border. They link border violence with terror. So should you.
658
Tell us again how these are only "civilian protests" with a "political aim" and aren’t "military action". We're sure that when you interview these "rioters", they'll also claim to only be "teachers" or "sport players", or "socializing", as alleged in your "report".

IMAGINE: You’re sitting in your yard & you see a cluster of balloons fly by. For Israelis living near Gaza, this can be deadly.
Today, Gaza terrorists used balloons to launch explosives into Israel. They’ve been doing this for over a year.

In response to the attack, IDF aircraft struck a number of terror targets in a Hamas military compound in the northern Gaza Strip.

In Dec 2018, Asem Barghouti carried out two separate shooting attacks in the Ofra and Asaf junctions, killing a baby and 2 IDF soldiers as well as injuring 9 more. Since then we caught the terrorist and today we demolished his residence.
We will continue to fight terror.

Moments ago, shots were fired from Gaza at an IDF position.
In response, an IDF tank struck a Hamas military post in the northern Gaza Strip.

Before she was a world renowned sex therapist, Holocaust survivor @AskDrRuth was a sniper in the Hagana, a pre-IDF defense organization! Pretty amazing right!?
668
Women in the IDF serve side-by-side and even command their male counterparts. Let’s take this #IWD2019 to remind ourselves that they’re no different 💪

Today, we celebrate the women of the IDF 👑#InternationalWomensDay

As the highest ranking officer in a co-ed unit, Maj. Lior knows that "being a fighter isn't just a matter of arms and legs. You need a lot of intelligence, to know how to make decisions, how to assess situations. And a lot of women have these qualities." We agree!

“I did not get any different treatment because I'm a girl, it's irrelevant, I'm the Brigade Medical Officer and it does not matter if I'm a boy or a girl.” - Cpt. Dr. Gal, Brigade Medical Officer in the Givati Brigade, telling it like it is 👏

On #InternationalWomensDay, thank the important women in your life

Take a close look at this photo. Do you see the woman climbing Israel’s border fence during a riot in Gaza? Now look and see what’s hiding on the ground behind her.
Hamas uses its women and children as human shields and it must stop. #IWD2019

In response, our fighter jets and aircraft just struck several Hamas targets & underground structures in Gaza.
