On this day 43 years ago, the IDF carried out its most daring mission to date.
This is the story of Entebbe:

RAMMING ATTACK: Last night, 5 IDF soldiers were wounded when a Palestinian rammed a car into them on a roadside north of Jerusalem.
Within a few hours, we caught the suspect at a checkpoint after an investigation based on security intel.
We will continue to fight terror.
953
IDF troops just revealed an underground terror tunnel dug from Gaza into Israel.
How’d we find it?
While building an underground security barrier.
Why are we building an underground barrier?
To stop Gaza terrorists from digging tunnels into Israel.
Guess it's working 🤷🏻♂

Today, we are proud to welcome 2 new F35 fighter jets to our existing fleet, bolstering Israel's aerial superiority and operational capabilities.
These new additions are a further expression of the ever-strong military partnership between 🇮🇱 and 🇺🇸.

Meet the West Bank-based Al-Haramain “travel agency”.
Instead of booking hotels, Al-Haramain has in fact been operating a Hamas money laundering ring, transferring illicit terror funds from Gaza to the West Bank.
This dirty money funded terror activity and Hamas salaries.
959
Last night, we exposed their operation and detained three t̶̶r̶̶a̶̶v̶̶e̶̶l̶̶ ̶̶a̶̶g̶̶e̶̶n̶̶t̶̶s̶ Hamas operatives.
We won’t let terror be Hamas’ destination.

In a beautiful act of kindness, these soldiers donated their hair to make wigs for children who have lost their hair during treatment.
Show them some ❤

What do you do when, against all odds, you win the war for your nation's independence, but you have no flag to raise in victory?
Take a white sheet & blue ink
Draw the Star of David
Raise it proud & high
Bask in the glory.
70 years later,
It’s still flying
& so are we.
🇮🇱

⚠ BREAKING: For the last year, the Iranian Quds Force has been smuggling missile manufacturing equipment
purchased from CIVILIAN companies
through CIVILIAN ports
directly into the hands of Hezbollah.
Well Iran, if you’d planned to keep this a secret—that ship has sailed.

No need for a cliché caption about strong women in the IDF. The pictures say it all.

🎶 “Most girls are smart and strong and beautiful
Most girls work hard, go far, we are unstoppable”
@HaileeSteinfeld, we couldn’t agree more.

Attn: World
Hamas and Islamic Jihad
abuse the children of #Gaza
indoctrinating them with hate
and weaponizing them
with grenades and firebombs.
This child abuse must end.
967
The Israeli Navy Commando Unit just received a Citation from the IDF Chief of General Staff in recognition of exceptional operational achievements.
We can’t disclose what those “exceptional achievements” are, but we can say this: the people of Israel are safer because of them.

“We have strengthened our preparedness for a possible campaign in Gaza...which could break out any day.” - LTG Kohavi, Chief of General Staff

Over the last few hours, an IDF officer and 2 soldiers were wounded after a terrorist from Gaza breached the security fence into Israel and opened fire at them.
The troops responded by shooting and killing the terrorist.
We also targeted a Hamas military post in Gaza.
970
At 2AM last night, a Hamas terrorist—armed with a Kalashnikov and grenades—infiltrated into Israel from Gaza and tried to carry out an attack in an Israeli community a mile away.
Emphasis on the "tried".
We neutralized the terrorist.

The Future is Bright🔮
This week, we welcomed Gen. John M. Murray, Commander of the @USArmy Futures Command, on a visit that further deepened the 🇮🇱+🇺🇸 partnership in the field of technology & innovation.

The Nazi Swastika flag
A symbol of murder
And sheer hatred
Raised yet again
At a Hamas riot
Inside Gaza
In the face
Of this hatred
Stand IDF soldiers
Alert and determined
Ready to defend lsrael
Today and every single day.
973
Today, we found this child’s backpack used by 2 Palestinians to hide guns & ammunition. Our soldiers noticed them acting suspiciously near an Israeli community, found the weapons, and arrested them.
A child's backpack should hold books, not weapons.
974
Jerusalem is a city sacred to
Jews, Christians & Muslims.
Hamas terrorists had a bomb ready, planning to carry out an attack on this Holy City. Together with the Israel Security Agency, we foiled the attack and arrested the terrorists.
WATCH:
