IDF forces detained three Israelis who crossed the border into Syria near the Mount Hermon ridge. The military is calling on law enforcement to take tougher action against a phenomenon it says is growing week by week and endangering both soldiers and the people crossing.

Less than three weeks after the deadly shooting attack, IDF, Yahalom, and Border Police forces demolished the terrorist’s home in the village of Tal. The terrorist was involved in the attack that killed two IDF soldiers.

The IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson, Ella Waweya, issued a warning to Gaza Strip residents about what it described as an economic scam by Hamas. According to the statement, old banknotes are expected to lose their value while the terrorist organization tries to unload them and shift the losses onto Gaza’s residents.

Forces from Brigade 55 and the Yahalom Unit operated in the security area of southern Lebanon, destroying an underground shaft and locating a large cache of Hezbollah weapons.

The IDF said Hezbollah launched an explosive drone at troops operating near the Ali al-Taher ridge. No Israeli soldiers were hurt. Lebanese reports said the IDF carried out strikes in several areas of southern Lebanon.

Family, friends, and the widow of Maj. (Res.) Harel Birnstok, of blessed memory, who was killed in an explosive blast in southern Lebanon, accompanied him to his final resting place at Mount Herzl. One friend said: “An exemplary father. He gave 100% of himself to protect all of us.”

The IDF said it expanded its operations in southern Lebanon following an incident that killed two reservists, Maj. Harel Birenstock and Master Sgt. Tamir Vakin. The targets included weapons depots, a command center, and additional terror infrastructure.

The IDF released figures on thousands of terror sites identified in southern Lebanon in recent months. According to the IDF, Hezbollah embedded its operations in the heart of civilian villages, putting residents at risk.

The IDF condemned the crossing of 10 teenage girls into Lebanon and called for legal action against those involved. Security officials warn that repeated incidents disrupt operational activity and place added strain on forces.

The soldiers were killed when an explosive device detonated inside a booby-trapped building near Majdal Zoun. Four additional soldiers were seriously wounded in the incident.

Muriel entered an army synagogue simply to take a break. What she discovered there eventually transformed her entire life.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir toured Southern Command and stressed that the IDF is continuing to systematically strike Hamas. He said the pursuit of those responsible for the October 7 massacre will continue without pause.

Paratrooper Brigade forces located an underground tunnel route in southern Gaza containing dozens of rockets belonging to terrorist organizations. The tunnel was destroyed in coordination with engineering forces and the Yahalom unit.

An investigation into the attack near the village of Tel details the heroism of Maj. Yuval Ezra and Capt. (res.) Benyahu Malt, of blessed memory, who moved toward the danger and shielded dozens of Israeli hikers. It also points to a series of operational and command failures that preceded the incident.

IDF forces are continuing security operations in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah infrastructure. During the operation, troops destroyed a tunnel and located weapons depots containing rockets, launchers, and additional weapons.

Amid international pressure, the IDF has tightened its approval process for strikes in Gaza. At the same time, political tensions are growing over the next stage of the ceasefire deal and the proposed deployment of an international stabilization force.

The IDF has completed disciplinary proceedings against everyone involved in the protest in the Givati Brigade’s Tzabar Battalion. Four additional soldiers were sent to prison and removed from combat duty, while the other participants underwent a command and educational process.

An investigation that began with the theft of a rifle from an IDF base in northern Israel expanded into suspicions of a drug-trafficking network operating among soldiers. Indictments have been filed, and an indictment against a major is expected later.

Terrorist Kamel Khatib faces multiple terrorism charges, including responsibility for the Samaria attack that killed reservist Sgt. Maj. Yehuda Gatto and seriously wounded another soldier. According to the indictment, he also led the Nur a-Shams Battalion terror organization.
