We struck Hamas’ military intelligence HQ in response to the 300+ rockets that terrorists in #Gaza fired at #Israel.
This is where Hamas' intelligence operatives gathered information to launch attacks on Israelis.
Hamas intentionally established their HQ next to a school.
227
Our aircraft just struck an Islamic Jihad terror squad in central Gaza.
The squad was struck while preparing to launch rockets toward Israel.
228
600 rockets have been fired from Gaza. That’s 600 attempts to kill Israelis.
229
🚨 Sirens sounding in southern Israel 🚨
Israelis are being woken up again by the warning of incoming rocket fire.
230
Look at what Israeli families skiing in northern Israel saw above them yesterday... #StopIran
231
We just spotted and struck another squad of Hamas terrorists operating Anti-Tank Missiles inside Gaza.
This is the fourth Anti-Tank Missile attack thwarted by the IDF today.
232
We
Will
Defend
Ourselves
After two days
Of Hamas rocket fire
Air-raid sirens across Israel
Israeli families seeking shelter
Our fighter jets & aircraft struck Additional Hamas targets in Gaza.
233
Hamas' goal this weekend is clear. Hear them in their own words.
#StopHamas
234
It's not easy fighting a terrorist organization that embeds its military infrastructure in civilian areas.
We use the latest military technology to precisely strike Hamas targets, while minimizing damage to the surrounding areas.
Take a look:
235
Ashkelon is just 8 miles from Gaza.
When rockets are fired from Gaza, Ashkelon's residents have only 30 seconds to run for shelter.
In the last 11 days, air raid sirens have sounded 389 times there.
That's 389 times too many.
We will defend our civilians.
236
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 🤷🏻♂
237
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.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a terrorist group in Gaza, was using a mosque in Al-Shati, a densely populated area, as a command-and-control center. Terrorists in Gaza use places of worship for military purposes. We targeted the command-and-control center last night.
239
Pvt. Shahaf is a volunteer soldier in the IDF, this is his story:
240
A terrorist armed with an M-16 assault rifle arrived at Elias junction near Hebron.
The terrorist started shooting while advancing towards IDF troops & civilians at a bus stop.
2 IDF soldiers shot & neutralized her. No IDF injuries were reported.
241
580 rockets fired by Islamic Jihad = 580 attempts to kill Israelis.
The Iron Dome intercepted 97% of the rockets that directly threatened Israelis.
But 120+ rockets landed in Gaza and killed innocent Palestinians.
The Iron Dome protects Israel.
Islamic Jihad endangers Gaza.
242
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 ❤
243
Hamas continues to target Israeli civilians
244
Today, we remember
#NeverForget #September11th
245
Today, on #HolocaustRemembranceDay, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and vow: Never again.
246
Moments ago, IDF jets and aircraft struck Hamas military intelligence offices in Gaza.
Before the strike, we warned civilians in the building & allowed sufficient time for them to evacuate the site.
We are continuing to strike terror targets in Gaza.
247
5/ We'll say it again: When Hamas places military assets inside such a building, it becomes a lawful military target. This is clear international law.
248
🚨RIGHT NOW: Terrorists in Gaza are firing a barrage of rockets into southern Israel
249
Pics Hamas published of its rocket launches. They blur the bottom. Why?
1. So we won't know where the launch site is
2. So you won't see that they’re firing from civilian homes in Gaza
We have 2 things to say:
1. We know where they’re firing from
2. The blur isn't that good
250
Since 8:00 this morning, we have identified and struck 9 underground & above-ground rocket launch sites in Gaza.
We will continue to operate against terrorism.
