Valentine's Day is all about love—but love can be dangerous. Here are some signs of a toxic relationship to look out for:
2277
IDF F-15 fighter jets escorted an American B-52 bomber through Israel's skies on its way from the Gulf earlier today.
The joint flight shows our close cooperation with the @usairforce and the importance of maintaining Israel's security & stability in the Middle East. 🇮🇱🇺🇸
2278
Take a look:
A child in Iran is posing with a cut-out of former global terrorist & IRGC Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani to celebrate the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
Sadly, the violence he promoted lives on in Iran & with its terrorist proxies.
This is a danger to us all.

2281
Our troops downed a Hezbollah drone that crossed from Lebanon into Israeli airspace today. The drone was monitored by the IDF throughout the incident.
We will continue to prevent any attempt by Hezbollah to violate Israeli sovereignty.
2282
We can't say exactly what message the Iranian regime sent Hassan Nasrallah on his 30th anniversary as Hezbollah’s leader, but it would probably look something like this.
Plus, we added in some key events that mustn't be forgotten:
2283
🚨 Sirens just sounded in the Galilee area in northern Israel 🚨
2284
A UAV crossed from Lebanon into Israeli airspace. Iron Dome interceptors were launched according to protocol and fighter jets were scrambled to patrol the area.
2285
A short time ago, a radio-controlled aircraft crossed into Israel from Lebanon. Sirens were sounded & aerial defense systems were activated. After a few minutes, radar contact was lost with the aircraft.
The event is under investigation & civilian life has returned to routine.

Muslim. Israeli. IDF reservist.

Ambassadors to the @UN and diplomats viewed firsthand a Hezbollah terrorist tunnel dug under the border from Lebanon into Israel.
Hezbollah is a global threat and should be recognized internationally for what it really is: a violent, Iranian-backed terrorist army.
2294
The Iranian regime and its terrorist proxies have been destabilizing the Middle East for decades.
In recent years, they have been using a new tool to attack people across the region—UAVs.
This is how we're operating to stop them:
2295
UAV attacks carried out by the Iranian regime & its terrorist proxies are on the rise.
The facts speak for themselves.
