From a convicted felon to an IDF combat officer, Lt. Yossi has an incredible story to share:
1554
We stand together with the American people in remembering the victims of the #September11 terror attacks and vow to #NeverForget.
May their memory be a blessing.
1555
Lt. Col. Efrat Kaykov Levy just became the first female battalion commander in the IDF Artillery Corps.
Here's to shattering glass ceilings.

A dozen EU ambassadors witnessed a Gaza terror tunnel firsthand, were informed on the threats we face, & concluded their day with a briefing with the CO of the Southern Command, MG Herzi Halevi, today.
The IDF will continue defending Israel while seeking to maintain stability.

Iran. Hezbollah. Syria.
What's the connection between them?
And what does it have to do with Israel?

As we ring in the Jewish New Year, here are some of the IDF's newest additions from the past year:
1563

Our fight against #COVID19 continues.

📍Ain Qana [southern Lebanon]
A quiet village is an unlikely base for a global terror group's weapons arsenal.
But yesterday, a neglected arms depot hidden within the village suddenly blew up.
Hezbollah, your use of civilian homes for terror is laid bare for all to see.
1565
Our soldiers just thwarted an attack adjacent to the village of Malik, northwest of Ramallah.

Hezbollah and Iran—the world’s most toxic long-distance relationship.
This is how Iran arms its proxy in Lebanon over 600 miles away:

The Israeli Navy & @Israel_MOD have been testing the waters...

1/ No military should have to write a thread like this, but we can’t stand idly by when there are important questions that must be asked:
Last week, a Hezbollah arms depot exploded in the middle of a neighborhood in southern Lebanon
...but why was it there in the first place?
1570
2/ Hezbollah’s strategy is to hide their weapons inside civilian neighborhoods. Why? So that if things were to escalate with Israel, Israel would have no choice but to target civilian areas.
1571
3/ Why does Hezbollah want Israel to target civilian areas? Because then there would be international outrage at the fact that Israel has targeted civilians.
1572
4/ Dear world,
The international outrage should begin now.
Hezbollah should not be storing weapons in civilian areas and risking the lives of the Lebanese people.
Humans should not serve as shields for weapons.
1573
On the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, we wish you all a meaningful and reflective Yom Kippur.
1574
This is not the first time we've exposed Hezbollah's Precision Guided Missile (PGM) manufacturing sites in the heart of Beirut.
But the international community can help make this the last time.
It's time for the world to stand up against the use of human shields by Hezbollah.
