We promised and delivered. The terrorists were eliminated and Ali Taher’s tunnels were destroyed. Kudos to the IDF.
Translated from HebrewI congratulate the IDF, the Shin Bet, and the Israel Police on the successful operation to eliminate a Hamas commander in the Jenin camp, along with additional terrorists, in a precise airstrike. The camp he commanded was evacuated of residents and captured by the IDF, and was cleared of terrorists and terrorist infrastructure; the IDF is stationed there permanently, as it is in additional terrorist camps in Judea and Samaria, and he himself was pursued until he was located and eliminated. These are the fruits of the offensive and proactive policy we are leading in Judea and Samaria: we do not wait for terrorism—we pursue it, capture its strongholds, and thwart its operatives. This policy has already led to an approximately 80% decline in terrorist activity. We will continue to act forcefully and proactively and thwart every threat to the citizens of Israel—wherever it is found.
Translated from HebrewPrime Minister Netanyahu and I instructed the IDF to adopt a policy of zero containment and zero tolerance toward the launching of kites and balloons from Gaza toward the Negev communities. If the launches continue, forceful actions will be taken to put an end to the phenomenon. A balloon and a kite are to be treated like a drone—with or without explosives. I am not Yoav Gallant, and I will not allow the policy of the eve of October 7 to return—not from the air and not by approaching the fences. Unlike the method of repeated raids that he led during the war, which allowed Hamas to return again and again to the same places, we acted together with the IDF and built a strong security zone clear of residents and terrorist infrastructure, with the IDF controlling the area to protect the soldiers and communities—and we will not allow it to be circumvented in any way.
