26 hours have passed since the start of Operation Dawn, and in today's assessment of the security situation in the IDF, the following figures were presented, summarizing the operation so far in numbers.
Rockets to Israel: Since the beginning of the operation, about 350 rockets and mortar bombs have been launched towards the territory of the State of Israel.
Two alarms were sounded in Gush Dan, one yesterday in Bat Yam, and the other today, following a rocket fired towards south Tel Aviv.
94 rockets landed in Palestinian territory and 29 of them landed in the sea, as a result of the poor quality of the rockets.
The Islamic Jihad is trying to hit Tel Aviv and has so far launched a few rockets towards Gush Dan.
An air defense system has so far managed to maintain about 96% successful interceptions despite the rockets falling in built-up areas in Sderot and Ashkelon, including direct damage to buildings and nearby civilians.
The IDF has raised the level of alertness in outposts, bases and open areas in the Gaza Division against the background of the fear that the GDF is planning a blitz of rocket barrages and PJMs along the entire line of contact as part of its attack plan, and therefore required the soldiers to move with helmets and firecrackers.
Palestinian casualties: Since the beginning of the operation, according to the Palestinians, 17 people have been killed, ten of them Jihad operatives, one of them a member of the Democratic Front.
Four of the dead are uninvolved civilians, and there is no information about two at this time.
The targets: rocket depots and launch sites.

Injured Palestinians: More than 130 people have been injured since the start of the operation, most of them jihadists.
The degrees of injury range from moderate to severe.
Army officials estimate that the death toll will rise in the next day due to the severity of the injuries.
Also, there is a strict adherence to the quality of the intelligence and the effort to "cleanse" areas of civilians through evasive shooting, telephone warnings and the selection of areas without people on the streets in order to reduce as much as possible the harm to those not involved in terrorism.
Terrorist targets: Today at noon, the IDF crossed the line of 100 terrorist targets that had been attacked since the beginning of the operation. According to the instructions of the Chief of Staff, Lt. Col. Aviv Kochavi, the targets were divided into several families: first and foremost, the hunting of the organization's senior officials who went underground. So far, the most prominent of the foiled is Taysir Jabari, the prominent Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander in the Gaza Strip who is responsible for the northern area of the Gaza Strip and Gaza City, and a serious injury to the deputy commander of the anti-tank formation of the organization Abdullah Kadum, whose condition remains a mystery.
In addition to this, two anti-tank squads that were on their way to the attack were thwarted. A security source said today that there were several other figures on the target of the IDF and the Shin Bet, but they decided to give up at the last minute to avoid harming those not involved and the hunt continued. In another incident, activists who were Responsible for launching rockets towards Israel.

The objectives of the operation: four "families of objectives" were defined for the operation.
The first: warehouses for rockets and other weapons.
The second: rocket production sites and rocket launch sites.
A military official said this morning in the Southern Command that the fire center in the Gaza Division also focuses on launch sites after the rocket launches in order to deny the ability to rearm them with rockets.
The third: Hamas military positions, outposts and bunkers where commanders are hiding.
The fourth: Commander's houses that were bombed today with the "knock on the roof" procedure, which means, removing the family members from the apartments and houses with a phone call, if they are not convinced, a warning shot is fired into the side of the building, and only after all the members of the house have left, a shot is fired to destroy it after it has been clearly identified that the building was used as a place where they were received military decisions and discussions of the GAP organization took place there.
One of the objectives of the operation: attacking Hamas military positions, outposts and bunkers where commanders are hiding.

The fire center of the Gaza Division has so far attacked more than 12 quality targets with an emphasis on real-time targets: operatives moving from place to place, launch sites and weapons caches that were uncovered during the fighting.
