IDF: The Chief of the General Staff at the eastern border: “Alongside the need for intelligence alerts, IDF troops must maintain a constant state of readiness for rapid changes and unexpected developments. In every sector, we must remain highly vigilant, stay ahead of threats, and ensure the protection of our borders and civilians”
“The Jordan Valley holds historical, Zionist, and security significance. The Jordan Valley is the State of Israel’s eastern defensive shield, and maintaining control over it is an essential component of our national security and strategic depth”
“The 96th Division, established during Operation ‘Rising Lion,’ is a practical example of implementing the lessons of October 7th. The IDF is strengthening the pillars of its security doctrine by enhancing defensive and offensive capabilities along the borders. As part of this effort, the division is deploying along a forward line of military posts ahead of civilian communities and improving its intelligence collection and lethality capabilities”

Joint IDF and ISA announcement:
The IDF and ISA struck a senior Hamas terrorist and additional terrorists who advanced terror attacks from a hospital in the southern Gaza Strip
Overnight (Thursday), the IDF and ISA struck a senior Hamas terrorist and additional terrorists from Hamas’ military wing while they were operating within Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
The terrorists were targeted in an aerial strike to eliminate the threat they posed, after the Hamas terrorist organization had established a presence within the hospital complex and used it as a command center for military and terrorist activities against IDF troops and the State of Israel.
Hamas' activities which constitute a blatant violation of international law and a cynical exploitation of civilian infrastructure, included, among other things:
* Storing weapons within the hospital complex.
* Conducting interrogations and torture by Hamas’ internal security and intelligence services within the hospital complex.
- Operating command-and-control rooms from within the hospital complex.
- Using hospital facilities as observation posts and shelters for terrorists.
The IDF and the ISA strongly condemn the Hamas terrorist organization’s cynical exploitation of civilian and medical infrastructure for military purposes, while endangering the lives of patients, medical personnel, and civilians.
Prior to and during the strike, steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance.
The IDF will provide further updates regarding the results of the strike.

Joint IDF and ISA announcement:
The IDF and ISA struck the commander of Hamas’ Khan Younis Brigade
In a precise strike overnight (Thursday), the IDF and ISA targeted the terrorist Muhammad Abu Ismail, who served as the commander of Hamas’ Khan Younis Brigade, alongside additional terrorists who were hiding inside the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
In his role, Muhammad Abu Ismail was responsible for overseeing the activities of the brigade’s terrorists and directing them to advance and carry out terrorist plots against IDF troops and Israeli civilians.
He was also responsible for holding numerous hostages captive throughout the war.
The terrorists were struck in order to remove the threat they posed after turning the Nasser Hospital compound into a headquarters and operating from there to advance dozens of terrorist plots against our forces and restore the brigade’s force buildup, which suffered significant damage throughout the war.
Prior to the strike, advance warnings were issued to the population. In addition, precision munitions and aerial surveillance were employed in order to reduce the risk of harm to civilians.

IDF: IDF soldiers and Border Police officers carried out enforcement activities over the past 24 hours at two illegal outposts near the areas of Atara and Wadi al-Rahim. These outposts were the source of repeated violent and illegal activity.
The enforcement activities targeted illegal construction components, vehicles, tents, and temporary structures.
Tonight (Thursday), during the enforcement activity near Atara, Israeli rioters barricaded themselves inside structures, while others attempted to reach the area. The forces used riot-dispersal measures and completed the enforcement activity.
The establishment of illegal outposts diverts the attention of security forces from their defensive and counterterrorism missions and undermines the security of the area.

IDF: Hamas’ use of Nasser Hospital as a military headquarters and to hold hostages: The Khan Yunis Brigade Commander targeted in the strike was involved in holding hostages in Hamas captivity during the war, including inside the hospital where he was targeted
The terrorist Abu Ismail currently serves as a central figure in the command and management of Hamas' Khan Yunis Brigade, particularly following the elimination of the brigade's commander, Muhammad Yazouri, in early September.
Like other hospitals across the Gaza Strip, Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis is used by the Hamas terrorist organization. The hospital’s second floor serves as a Hamas military headquarters, where civilians are not permitted to enter and which is under strict security, as it is used by the terrorist organization’s commanders, including Muhammad Abu Ismail. Throughout the war, dozens of hostages were held captive at Nasser Hospital, many of them from Kibbutz Nahal Oz, including women, children, elderly people, and foreign nationals.
Muhammad Abu Ismail was also responsible for holding numerous hostages captive throughout the war, including the hostages: Nimrod Cohen, Matan Zangauker, Edan Alexander, Avera Mengistu, Colonel Asaf Hamami, Staff Sergeant Oz Daniel, and Captain Omer Neutra.
Alongside the strike targeting Abu Ismail, additional terrorists who were present in the hospital compound were also struck, including Muared Tawfiq Mahmoud Abu Zarifa, a team leader in the engineering department of the Combat and Administrative Support Company, and Khaled Osama Abu Anza, head of the communications section in the Operations Department of Hamas’ intelligence headquarters.
The terrorists were struck in an aerial strike in order to remove the threat they posed, after turning the Nasser Hospital compound into a military headquarters and operating from it to advance dozens of terrorist attack plans against IDF soldiers and rebuild the military capabilities of the Khan Younis Brigade, which had been significantly degraded throughout the war.
Prior to the strike, precautionary measures were taken to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, damage to the hospital building and harm to uninvolved civilians. In addition, the strike was specifically directed at the room from which the brigade commander and the other terrorists were conducting military activities.
Furthermore, prior to the strike, the IDF warned and demanded on several occasions, including recently, that the military activity at the hospital be halted. Despite the warnings, the military activity at the hospital did not cease.
The IDF operates in accordance with international law, strikes military targets only, and respects the special protection afforded to medical facilities and medical personnel and does not target them as such. Security forces are deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue to operate to remove any threat.

IDF: Humanitarian efforts and winter preparations in the Gaza Strip continue: Entry of winter supplies, strengthening medical services and sanitation infrastructure
The IDF and COGAT continue to proactively coordinate the humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip, in coordination with the Board of Peace and in cooperation with the UN, international organizations, and donor countries.
Since the beginning of preparations for winter, more than 93,000 tents have entered the Gaza Strip, including thousands in the past week alone, along with more than 8,600 trucks carrying winter supplies, hundreds of which entered during the past week.
As part of these efforts, the entry of medical equipment and supplies related to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) continues to be approved and coordinated. These efforts include the entry of 16 sewage vacuum trucks, approval of mobile clinics and vaccinations, repairs to sewage, drainage, and water infrastructure, and additional measures.
In the medical sector, hundreds of trucks carrying medical equipment and medications have entered the Gaza Strip in recent weeks, with supplies delivered directly to hospitals and clinics. These supplies include medications, dialysis fluids, defibrillators, incubators, ultrasound machines, and physiotherapy equipment, among other items.
Hamas remains the primary obstacle to the rehabilitation of the Gaza Strip and a different future for its residents. Hamas continues to exploit humanitarian infrastructure and incoming humanitarian aid, particularly the winter supplies being brought into the Gaza Strip. As long as Hamas does not disarm, the rehabilitation of the Gaza Strip will not be possible.
The IDF and COGAT continue to work alongside their international partners to address the needs of the winter season.

IDF: The truth behind Gaza's hospitals uncovered: The IDF reveals documents from 2019-2020 exposing the systematic exploitation of medical facilities by the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations
Intelligence documents seized by IDF troops in the Gaza Strip reveal new details about the extent to which the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations have exploited medical facilities to further their military activities.
One of the documents, found near the safe house of the Deputy Commander of Hamas’ Eastern Khan Younis Battalion and written in 2019 by the Deputy Commander of the Khan Younis Brigade in Hamas’ military wing, outlines a protocol for handling suspects taken by Hamas for interrogation and apprehension. The document details locations used for interrogations, including “a location in Nasser Hospital, another location in the Red Crescent Hospital, and another location in the European Hospital.”
Another document, found in a vehicle loaded with equipment near Shifa Hospital and written in 2020, criticizes the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization’s exploitation of Shifa, Al-Rantisi, and Kamal Adwan hospitals for positioning mortar shells, documenting rocket launches, taking over offices, and establishing an operations room for its use. The document also details the security risks associated with such exploitation.
These are just two pieces of evidence among many in the IDF’s possession regarding terrorist organizations’ activities in hospitals in the Gaza Strip. The IDF has clear indications that Hamas has conducted terrorist activities from within Nasser Hospital over the past several years, both before and since the outbreak of the war, including as recently as the past few weeks.
Hospitals and medical infrastructure are intended to provide medical care. However, these documents reveal a different reality, in which terrorist organizations exploit these facilities and the special protection afforded to them under international law, turning them into centers of military activity.
