@ajplus AJ+, shame you haven’t actually checked the facts and recognized that the IDF had nothing to do with the tragic death of the mother and baby. You are amplifying a lie.
5 different languages 1 thing to say... Happy Mother’s Day!
For the first time ever, IDF and @USArmy soldiers compete to find out who’s got the better shot. Footage: 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 Combat Camera Teams
BREAKING: IDF intelligence can confirm that Hamas has cancelled schools in Gaza tomorrow in order to send the children to participate in violent riots against Israel.
The Hamas militant group in #Gaza distributed this message at 2:19pm local time via radio stations, TV stations, and on Twitter.
During the hours of the riots tomorrow, weather in #Gaza is expected to be around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This heat is a danger to children, who are susceptible to dehydration & heat-stroke. We call on Hamas to keep their children in school & not endanger them at the riots.
OPERATIONAL UPDATE: Last night our soldiers caught a Palestinian from Gaza that crossed into Israel carrying a grenade, he was a few hundred yards away from Israeli communities. That is what the IDF will be preventing today at the #Gaza border.
As violent rioters AGAIN gather on Israel’s border & threaten Israeli civilians, @LTCJonathan outlines the basic facts of these violent riots. In these short videos he’ll explain the where, who, why, how & what of them. It’s time to dispel the lies and get to the truth.
WHERE exactly are these riots taking place?
WHY are these violent riots a threat to Israel?
HOW does Israel respond to these threats?
WHAT happens as a result of these riots?
RIGHT NOW: Palestinians in Gaza violently rioting along Israel's border fence launched incendiary devices into Israel setting this field ablaze. These are terrorist-backed violent riots and they endanger the lives of innocent civilians. “Peaceful protesters” don’t start fires.
This may be an unconventional training ground, but its a pretty impressive one:
This is the story of Israel.
@UNJanKubis Do you know what else appears to be necessary reading? @UN Resolution 1701.
This week, 3 IDF representatives participated in the @NATO Chiefs of Defense Conference in Brussels 🇧🇪. They discussed cooperation programs & strategic issues. The IDF & NATO are proud to share a bilateral cooperation program, including maritime exercises & learning engagements.
3,500+ Israelis have been evacuated from their homes due to fires caused by an extreme heatwave. Today, Cyprus 🇨🇾 Italy 🇮🇹 Greece 🇬🇷 Croatia 🇭🇷 are sending firefighting planes to Israel to help assist in the emergency. Thank you.
Well that’s probably the best birthday present we could have asked for Mr. President 🥳 twitter.com/PresidentRuvi/…
IDF’s Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Aviv Kohavi giving us all some #MondayMotivation after a visit to the Ramon Air Force Base.
Earlier today, a Syrian anti-aircraft system fired at an IDF aircraft as it was carrying out a routine flight in Israel. The projectile landed in Syrian territory. In response, we targeted the Syrian launcher that was responsible for firing it.
1/ The IDF International Conference on the Law of Armed Conflict began today. 150+ experts from 20+ states are attending. The 3 day conference focuses on topics regarding current challenges in LOAC, specifically fighting terror orgs in an urban environment & cyber ops.
An EXCLUSIVE look inside a Hezbollah attack tunnel built to kill Israeli families:
We neutralized this Hezbollah attack tunnel. It is no longer a useful passage for terror.
INITIAL REPORT: Two projectiles were launched from Syria towards Mount Hermon in northern Israel. Details to follow.
