The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) recently revealed that Muhammad Abu Aseed, the Hamas terrorist filmed dragging Naama Levy into captivity on October 7th, 2023, was killed in a drone strike approximately four months ago.
This revelation, kept secret until the release of all seven female Israeli soldiers held hostage by Hamas, underscores the significant efforts undertaken by the IDF following the devastating October 7th attacks. The video of the abduction, showing Abu Aseed dragging the injured Levy by her hair, became a chilling symbol of the brutality inflicted that day. The targeted elimination of Abu Aseed represents a measure of justice and retribution for this horrific act.… Continue reading
Following a ceasefire extension, Hezbollah-led border riots have subsided, though the IDF continues to repel Lebanese civilians from restricted areas. Despite the ceasefire, the IDF conducted air strikes on Hezbollah weapons due to agreement violations, and maintains a significant military presence in southern Lebanon, prioritizing Israeli security. The IDF plans to utilize the remaining ceasefire period to dismantle terrorist infrastructure and collect weapons, with a new defense concept establishing outposts between the border and Israeli communities. This increased security presence aims to ensure the safe return of displaced Israeli citizens, while acknowledging the potential for renewed Hezbollah activity.

Hussein Fayyad, a senior Hamas commander declared killed in May 2024, recently appeared in a video, challenging Israel’s claims of eliminating Hamas leadership. His reappearance underscores Hamas’s enduring operational capabilities and resilience in Gaza despite significant losses and a January 2025 ceasefire. This challenges Israel’s stated goal of eradicating Hamas and raises questions about the effectiveness of the IDF’s recent military campaign. Experts note Fayyad’s continued influence highlights Hamas’s continued control of Gaza in the absence of any alternative governing body.

IDF forces in the West Bank engaged terrorists utilizing mosques and other civilian structures in Jabaliya and Tulkarm to launch attacks, jeopardizing civilian safety. Three mosques—Jabriyat and Khalid Ibn al-Walid in Jenin, and Abu Bakr al-Siddiq in Tulkarm—were identified as terrorist operational bases, with evidence including shooting ranges and spent ammunition found within. Air and ground operations resulted in the elimination of at least 165 terrorists in approximately 110 airstrikes, conducted with precision to minimize civilian harm. The IDF emphasized the persistent use of civilian infrastructure by terrorists for attacks in Judea and Samaria.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released video of a captured Hamas terrorist detailing the group’s exploitation of Gaza hospitals. This terrorist confessed to using hospitals for command centers, weapon storage (including anti-tank missiles, grenades, and small arms), and personnel safety, believing them to be immune from Israeli strikes.

IDF operations in Jabalya and Beit Hanun uncovered significant Hamas weaponry, including rockets, RPGs, and explosives, hidden in civilian structures, such as a school and a child’s bedroom. Simultaneous operations by the Givati and Nahal Brigades neutralized terrorists, destroyed explosive devices, and dismantled underground infrastructure, including tunnel shafts. Drone reconnaissance played a crucial role in identifying threats and enabling precision strikes. The discoveries highlight the extent of Hamas’s hidden military capabilities within civilian areas.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that a raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza resulted in the deaths of 19 terrorist operatives, with no known civilian casualties. This directly contradicts the Hamas-reported figure of 50 dead, a number that was also cited by some international media outlets. The discrepancy highlights the significant challenge in verifying casualty figures amidst the ongoing conflict.
The IDF’s assertion rests on the screening of 940 Palestinians at a checkpoint outside the hospital. Of this number, 240 were detained for alleged affiliation with terrorist groups. This extensive screening process also facilitated the evacuation of approximately 600 civilians and 95 medical personnel and patients.… Continue reading
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched a significant air strike against Houthi targets in Yemen, claiming to have effectively neutralized all three of the Houthi-controlled ports. This forceful action followed a ballistic missile launched from Yemen towards Tel Aviv, prompting a swift and decisive response from Israel.
The timing of the IDF’s response is striking. Reports suggest that only minutes elapsed between the Houthi missile launch and the commencement of Israeli airstrikes in Sana’a, the Yemeni capital. While official statements attribute the broader operation to a response to previous Houthi missile attacks, the near-simultaneous nature of the events raises questions about the level of Israeli intelligence and pre-planning.… Continue reading

Prime Minister Netanyahu, despite the UAE’s condemnation, expressed Israel’s desire for relations with the new Syrian regime, while vowing forceful responses to any Iranian resurgence or attacks. The operation prioritized preventing weapons from falling into the hands of hostile elements, maintaining a secure buffer zone, and involved close coordination with international partners. The IDF emphasizes its actions were solely for Israel’s security and did not involve interference in Syria’s internal affairs.
