Recently, there was shelling of positions in Taiba, Kfar Shuba and Yarun. Despite the difficult conditions, the IDF is deterring terrorist activity in the region.
The struggle in the Gaza Strip
Israeli forces are focused on neutralising terrorist cells that use densely built-up areas to hide weapons and prepare attacks. The IDF is making efforts to minimise civilian casualties, but terrorists deliberately place facilities in close proximity to residential areas.
The situation remains tense. Israel demonstrates its readiness for a long-term fight against terrorism on all fronts, including in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Judea. The Armed Forces are working in difficult conditions, countering the challenges with the use of modern technologies and strategies.
