The IDF attacked Islamic Jihad targets in the Gaza Strip, August 7, 2022 (IDF spokesperson)

A sophisticated giant bomb, detailed intelligence information about the hiding apartment, and the terrorist headquarters that the IDF avoided bombing - almost two days have passed since the ceasefire came into effect, and the IDF is revealing new revelations about the elimination of the top officials in Operation Dawn.

After the arrest of the senior Islamic Jihad in Yosh, Bassem al-Saadi, at 1:00 on Wednesday night last week, a warning was received about the terrorist organization's intention to carry out an anti-tank attack against a civilian bus.

Therefore, it was decided to close the roads in the south in an attempt to prevent harm to civilians.

On the evening of Wednesday, a situational assessment of the security tensions was conducted, and even then it was clear that the demon is not back in the bottle - Jihad will not back down from the threats, despite mediation efforts, and the IDF's face turned to the operation that will be called Dawn.

Already at the beginning of the preparation process, the Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi demanded a strong defense along the border fence, and to launch an opening strike that would include targeted thwarting of senior members of the terrorist organization. The presence of senior Jihad Taysir Jabari.

After consultation it became clear that the intelligence was inaccurate.

On Friday, the top security officials planned to start the operation on Saturday morning, and the integration process between the Air Force and the Southern Command expanded to carry out a broad "fire strike" at the same time in 170 seconds.

At this stage, waiting for the Iron Dome batteries to be prepared, whose purpose is to deal with heavy barrages of rockets and mortar bombs.

At 4:15 p.m., Operation Dawn was launched with several blows: the organization's senior officer Taysir Jabari was bombed in the Burj Palestine building by a fighter jet, an unmanned "Zik" type aircraft attacked Abdullah Kadum, a senior commander in the anti-tank formation who was riding a motorcycle , and drones that attacked and positions and tanks that attacked positions.

The main effort of the Air Force was to place a large number of unmanned aircraft over the skies of the Gaza Strip for the purposes of attack and intelligence gathering.

In total, there were 17 hubs over which unmanned aircraft circled.

Most of the Air Force's attention was focused on the first targeted counterattack of Taysir Jabari.

The Shin Bet's precise intelligence, combined with Aman and the Southern Command, led to the assembly of an operational model on how to attack the apartment where he was staying.

The Air Force began an accelerated process of mapping the apartment and its surroundings in order to choose the method of attack, and to prevent as much as possible damage to the environment and to those not involved.

After that, the work of performance research began in the Air Force that estimates the thickness of the walls, the height of the ceiling, the types of building material and the apartment such as the type of blocks, height from the ground - critical information in an attempt not to make a mistake in the angle of attack.

After that, the type of armament, the angle of attack, the exact reference point of the attack that does not exceed a meter from the designated point and other alternatives in case of a malfunction at the moment of truth are selected.

Performance research personnel evaluate before the high command of the corps what will happen at the moment of truth as a result of the explosion.

After that, a consultation is held on choosing the timing of the attack to prevent harm to those not involved in terrorism in the area again.

The IDF revealed today, following the publication in Walla!, that the Shin Bet revealed that GAF senior Khaled Mansour initially stayed in a hiding apartment above a kindergarten and therefore no attack was carried out, but a short time later he moved to another apartment and then it was decided after assessing the situation to attack him in the second hiding apartment. This time, the engineering structure of the house, which consisted of three floors, made it possible to attack the wanted party from all sides using a large number of weapons carefully selected in advance by the Air Force while adjusting the size and type of weapons. The method worked in such a way that the first floor was attacked by fighter planes with diverse weapons from all directions and openings ( windows and doors) to prevent escape of the wanted person and the assistant, then the second floor and finally the third floor.

In the meantime, the IDF emphasized that the Air Force activated only 10% of its operational force for the purposes of the operation, which was defined as a "boutique", and the main challenge was the accuracy of the attack in order to prevent non-involved killings and environmental damage and synchronization between the various units. Also, the GAP tried to make it difficult for dome batteries Iron using rocket barrages in several directions that included between 60-100 rockets per barrage.

Also, one out of every five rockets launched from the Gaza Strip fall in the Gaza Strip and according to the IDF data they killed 16 Palestinians not involved in terrorism. Also, the IDF rejected the claim that they had information and a hold on the anti-tank squad before the opening flight of the operation even if there was information That's how they would kill the activists.
