IDF forces from the 36th Battalion, led by the Golani Reconnaissance Unit, reached the coast of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

, south of Gaza City. The IDF has completed encircling northern Gaza, separating Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...strongholds in the north from the south. This strategy is proving to be effective when contending with Hamas.
The IDF continues to strike terror infrastructure in Gaza and intensify ground operations in the northern Gaza strip. Troops in Gaza are engaged in close quarter combat, and conducting coordinated strikes, together with the navy and air force. These ground operations have unearthed a significant number of rocket launchers, tunnels, and ammunition stores.
Last night IDF forces secured a Hamas stronghold in northern Gaza, killing a number of terrorists. This stronghold contained tunnel openings, training facilities, and lookout positions.
The IDF is also continuing to target Hamas big turbanship. Yesterday the IDF, relying on ISA intelligence, targeted Jamal Mussa who was responsible for the special security operations in the Hamas terrorist organization.
The IDF continues to call on all residents still in north Gaza to move south. Like yesterday, humanitarian corridors were opened by the IDF for this purpose (video here).
In the last day, Israel has struck 450 Hamas targets in Gaza.
Humanitarian aid continues to enter Gaza with 75 trucks crossing into Gaza
NORTHERN ISRAEL
In response to attacks on northern Israel, the IDF struck a number of targets in southern Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, including rocket depots, and Hezbollah military positions.
Over the last 24 hours IDF forces neutralized a number of
The IDF remains well-prepared along the northern border. As the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi, said in a briefing in the Northern Command yesterday, "We are ready to strike in the north at any moment".
OTHER ARENAS
Since the start of the war the IDF and ISA have arrested 850 Hamas suspects in Judea and Samaria. The IDF, together with other security agencies, continues to work around the clock for the safe return of every hostage.
To date, we have notified the families of 348 soldiers who fell in battle since October 7th. A total of 240 hostages remain in captivity in Gaza.
