The Air Force Carried Out a Double Strike
In the late hours of the morning (Tuesday), the Air Force executed an unusual double strike on a Palestinian vehicle in the Aqaba region of the Jordan Valley, near the city of Tubas, with the aim of eliminating terrorists planning to carry out a terror attack. Two of the terrorists, Karam Hattem Abu Ara and Muhammad Samih Ghanam, were killed on the spot, while a third terrorist, Imad Najah Salah Ghanam was seriously injured and evacuated to a hospital in Tubas. Subsequently, images surfaced on Arab networks showing IDF forces entering the medical facility amid an exchange of gunfire, arresting at least one individual. Simultaneously, the Air Force conducted a strike in Syria, on the road leading to the Damascus Airport. According to reports from the Syrian opposition, the strike targeted a senior Hezbollah official operating in Syria. This marks the first time Israel has struck on Syrian territory since the resurgence of the civil war and the capture of Aleppo (Syria’s 2nd largest city), a few days ago by rebel forces.
“Maximum Response and Zero Tolerance”
The Air Force also conducted strikes in Lebanon. In the area of the village of Dir Sirin, a warning strike was carried out against Hezbollah operatives. It is worth noting that Defense Minister Israel Katz sent a warning to the terrorist organization Hezbollah and to the state of Lebanon this morning, “Our policy, together with the IDF, is clear and unequivocal, we will act with full force to enforce all the understandings of the ceasefire agreement, and we will maintain maximum responsiveness and zero tolerance… If we return to war, we will act with strength, we will go deeper, and the most important thing they need to know is that there will be no more exemptions for the state of Lebanon.”
Additionally, the Air Force continues to operate in the Gaza Strip, which has once again become the central front during this period. In a targeted strike at the Nuseirat Refugee Camp, many militants were eliminated, including seven militants who participated in the attack on Israel on October 7.
Fascinating!
