🎯DISMANTLED: The underground infrastructure in the Ali al-Taher Ridge area, in the Security Zone, in order to neutralize Hezbollah’s ability to use this infrastructure to plan & carry out terror attacks against Israeli civilians & IDF soldiers.
Dozens of Iranian-made rockets, missiles, UAVs, machine guns, and hundreds of mines & explosive devices, were located inside the underground infrastructure.
Additionally, a central command complex belonging to Hezbollah’s “Badr” Unit was located within the infrastructure. It contained command centers, weapon storage rooms, and living quarters that enabled terrorists to manage combat & remain underground for extended periods.
🎥 WATCH: Exclusive footage of living quarters used by Hezbollah terrorists.
During special operations to clear terrorist infrastructure from the Litani area, south of the Forward Defense Line, 100+ military targets were struck.
Targets dismantled include:
- compounds used by Hezbollah terrorists
- underground tunnel routes containing large quantities of weapons
- weapons storage facilities
- missile launchers
Additionally, troops struck and eliminated dozens of terrorists in close-quarters combat, alongside aerial support.
Since the ceasefire last October, the Board of Peace has SIGNIFICANTLY scaled up support for the people of Gaza. Food aid is reaching 3 times more people than before. Hamas’ theft of aid has dwindled from 90% to less than 1%. According to the United Nations, nutrition has improved dramatically.
We are currently hard at work on the next critical step in Gaza’s recovery: finalizing the process by which Hamas decommissions its weapons and allows for the transition to a new government that will lead the redevelopment of this war-torn region. This will allow us to accelerate aid and rebirth.
The “flotilla” heading to Gaza is the performative love-boat activism of people who know nothing of and care even less for the condition of Gazans. It is distasteful to trade on the misery of people to build your social media profiles.
For those actually wanting to help Gaza, here is a suggestion: use whatever influence you have to maintain the pressure on Hamas so they fulfill their obligations to pave the way forward for the communities they destroyed. If you would like to contribute to the recovery, we welcome support through established humanitarian channels coordinated by the Board of Peace, the United Nations, and the World Bank, so that your contributions reach those who deserve and need our aid.
🔴Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and the regime’s effective leader, has been eliminated.
Throughout the years, Larijani was considered one of the most veteran and senior figures within the Iranian regime leadership, and was a close associate of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
During the most recent wave of protests against the Iranian terror regime, Larijani personally oversaw the massacre that was carried out against Iranian protestors.
🎥 WATCH: ~50 Israeli Air Force fighter jets dismantled Ali Khamenei’s underground military bunker beneath the Iranian regime’s leadership compound in Tehran.
“I am in continuous contact with my American counterparts…We are fighting based on shared interests and shared values. We are fighting shoulder to shoulder. They are true friends.
Through synchronized action, we are stripping the regime of its military capabilities, strategically isolating them and bringing them to a point of weakness unlike any it has known. This is truly a historic cooperation.”
🇮🇱 🤝 🇺🇸 OPERATION ROARING LION: The IDF and the U.S Armed Forces have launched a broad & joint operation to thoroughly degrade the Iranian terrorist regime and to remove existential threats to Israel over time.
The Iranian regime has not abandoned its plan to destroy Israel. The regime has continued financing, training, and arming its proxies positioned on Israel’s borders. These actions constitute an existential threat to Israel and pose a danger to the Middle East and the world as a whole.
Here at Bondi Beach in Sydney, the scene of the horrific antisemitic terror attack at a Chanukah celebration in December, I begin my official visit to Australia at the invitation of Governor-General Sam Mostyn, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, and the Australian Jewish community.
On behalf of the State of Israel, I pay tribute to all 15 victims murdered in the deadliest terror attack in Australian history. From here at Bondi, I embrace the bereaved families, pray for a speedy recovery for all those injured, and express my deepest gratitude to all those heroes who saved innocent lives under fire.
Standing here at Bondi - an iconic symbol of Australian life, now scarred by the December 14th massacre - I embrace our Australian Jewish sisters and brothers still reeling from this trauma. I also reach out to the wonderful people of Australia who have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Australian Jews in the aftermath of the attack.
My visit to Australia, to all of you, is one of solidarity, strength, and sincere friendship from the State of Israel and the people of Israel. Together, we must confront the evils of antisemitism, extremism, and terror here in Australia and around the world.
The deceased hostage SFC Ran Gvili has been identified and will be returned for burial.
According to the information and intelligence available to us, SFC Ran Gvili, 24, who served in the Israeli Police Special Forces, fell in combat on the morning of Oct. 7, 2023, and his body was abducted to Gaza.
The IDF expresses deep condolences to family. The IDF will continue to support the families and the returnees, and to act to strengthen the security of the citizens of Israel.
Aryeh was kidnapped while still alive from his home in Kibbutz Nir Oz by the Hamas terrorist organization. It is estimated that Zalman, the late, was murdered in captivity on 11/17/23.
The bodies of Tamir Adar, the late, and Aryeh Zalmanovitz, were brought home. Tamir, a member of the Nir Oz readiness squad, fell in battle defending the kibbutz on the morning of October 7, 2023, and his body was kidnapped.
⭕️ In two separate incidents, IDF troops identified several approaching terrorists who crossed the yellow line in the Shejaiya area, posing an immediate threat to them.
The troops fired toward the terrorists who crossed the yellow line in order to remove the threat to them.
IDF troops are deployed in the area in accordance with the ceasefire agreement, and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.
❗️So-called “Freedom Flotilla” is Directly Tied to Hamas: Official Hamas documents found in Gaza reveal Hamas’ direct involvement in funding and executing the “Sumud” flotilla.
Found in the documents:
• Hamas Abroad uses the PCPA, founded in 2018, to run external operations under civilian cover.
• The PCPA acts as Hamas’ representative abroad, organizing demonstrations, marches, and flotillas.
• In 2021, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh endorsed the PCPA; Israel designated it a terrorist group the same year.
• Links flotilla leaders directly to Hamas, including Zaher Birawi (n.19) and Saif Abu Kashk (n.25).
• Abu Kashk’s front company Cyber Neptune secretly owns dozens of “Sumud” flotilla ships, proving Hamas control.
📄These documents are clear proof that the ‘Sumud’ flotilla has a direct connection to Hamas, from leadership and funding to ship ownership.
We mourn the loss of six IDF soldiers who fell in recent days in combat and in a terrorist attack on the Jordanian border.

There is an expanded humanitarian response in southern Gaza.
Humanitarian infrastructure in the south is prepared for the expected population volume, ensuring aid can reach those in need.
WATCH: Some of the preparations👇
In response to the Pillay, Sidoti and Kothari Commission of Inquiry’s fake report:
Three individuals serving as Hamas proxies, notorious for their openly antisemitic positions — and whose horrific statements about Jews have been condemned worldwide — released today another fake “report” about Gaza.
The report relies entirely on Hamas falsehoods, laundered and repeated by others. These fabrications have already been thoroughly debunked, including in an independent, in-depth academic study by BESA, which refuted every single false claim regarding genocide. Needless to say, the three authors made no attempt to address the clear findings of the BESA study.
In stark contrast to the lies in the report, Hamas is the party that attempted genocide in Israel — murdering 1,200 people, raping women, burning families alive, and openly declaring its goal of killing every Jew.
Miraculously, all three authors of this fabricated report have recently resigned. They should not be replaced.
Israel categorically rejects this distorted and false report and calls for the immediate abolition of this Commission of Inquiry.
