The IDF published an operational update on Tuesday morning on the fourth day of the "Iron Swords" war. According to IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Daniel Hagari: "We are in the fourth day at significant hours. We have concluded a number of discussions with the Chief of Staff on focusing the air offensive and building the ground offensive, and a toolbox of civilian pressure. At the same time, we are looking at the northern arena at the strategic level, and at Hezbollah and the other countries that can respond to Israel, including Syria, Iran, Iraq and other countries.
"We focus on Gaza and look at Lebanon. Iran and other countries," Brigadier General Hagari said at the briefing. "American deterrence has importance and a role. Within the attack is more than 36 hours of tremendous strike effort. Wherever there is a glimmer of intelligence about terrorists, there are bombs. We're just destroying them. Yesterday (Monday), there was a wave of attacks, in several stages, on Rimal, Gaza's luxurious neighborhood.
"At 23:00 (last night, Monday) we moved to another wave of hundreds of targets, hundreds of operational intelligence infrastructures were attacked, operational apartments without operatives. In addition, the navy aggressively attacks infrastructure facilities. In the aerial dimension, we show aerial capabilities that we have not shown so far.
"In the defensive effort, we gained control. Now we are busy clearing the space. No one entered the fence yesterday. We had one encounter with a diner (at night). Kill the terrorist. Busy embroidered in the face of loopholes. Diamond works on the fence. Concentrate the defense effort on the envelope and hold the enemy tight. We are with tens of thousands of fighters in the south.
According to the ACA, "There is our management here between speed and reliability and reliability of identification. You have to show responsibility to identify the fallen." In the abducted and missing persons sector, "Maj. Gen. Lior Carmeli and dozens of reservists are busy reaching their families." In the coming hours, around noon, the IDF will update on the number of families to which the military representatives went. So far, the number of IDF soldiers killed in battle stands at 122.
In addition, the IDF reports that Maj. Gen. Nitzan Alon was appointed by the Chief of Staff and is designated as commander of an operational intelligence effort.
The North, Judea and Samaria and International Coordination
In an update on the events on the northern border, the IDF Spokesperson said: "In the north of the country there was an infiltration on the eve of Bikineton, for which Palestinian Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility. Four terrorists reached the fence. The three terrorists enter and make quick contact - from the contact there are two dead terrorists and another escaped. If it's Palestinian Islamic Jihad – intelligence doesn't know how to relate to it – we'll know later. Since then, there have been no more incidents in the north. Very high readiness in the north.
Central Command: "There have been a number of incidents in Judea and Samaria in the past 24 hours. We conduct this, including contact and dialogue with the entire settlement. You have to see that there are no gaps in weapons. The goal is to allow freedom of movement for citizens of Judea and Samaria.
"On the international level, yesterday was the first phone call between the chief of staff and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Their first conversation, also General Brown. He said he stands with the IDF. We are working in full coordination with the US Central Command."
"With the military assistance of the use of force, the Americans put planes, an aircraft carrier and ships," Hagari said. This will be expressed in defense and offense. There are also worsening scenarios in the Middle East to deter the circle far from taking initiatives. The IDF knows how to deal with the challenges in the first circle of Gaza and Lebanon strongly."
Reserve mobilization and supply of equipment
On the mobilization of reserve forces, the statement said: "We absorbed 300,48 reservists in 24 hours. This is war. During the war, we sleep in sacks and eat battle rations. And this the IDF knows how to provide fully and immediately. There are priorities for supplying equipment for war. We will know how to convey correctly in order of priority. A call center has been opened that will work 7/<> in Battle.
