Hezbollah terrorists killed, 2 IDF troops slightly wounded in close quarter combat

Two IDF soldiers were lightly wounded on Thursday during a close-quarters engagement in southern Lebanon during which the troops killed a Hezbollah terrorist, the IDF said.

The engagement came amid a “targeted ground operation” conducted by the 162nd Division to bolster the military’s forward position in the country, the IDF added.

Soldiers in the area also located "numerous weapons, including rifles, vests, grenades, and additional weapons," the IDF said.

Meanwhile, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said on Thursday that there was no end in sight to the war between Hezbollah and Israel.

Katz to Hezbollah chief Qassem: You will 'not live to see' Israel’s full response

Amid the operations, Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem that he would not live to see the extent of the “very heavy price” the group would pay for its earlier attacks on Israel during Passover, saying he would be “at the bottom of hell” alongside slain members of Iran and its proxy network.

Katz’s comments came following a Thursday situational assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and other top military officials at “the pit,” the IDF’s command center beneath the Kiyra military compound. IDF soldiers are seen operating in southern Lebanon, April 1, 2026.Earlier that morning, military sources said that the IDF had begun demolishing homes in southern Lebanese villages located along the border with Israel.

According to the sources, the houses targeted by the military were used by the Hezbollah terrorist group as bases to launch anti-tank fire and conduct reconnaissance of Israeli forces.The demolitions were being carried out in accordance with orders issued by Defense Minister Israel Katz, who last week instructed the IDF to begin destroying homes and bridges south of the Litani River.

"We have ordered an acceleration in the destruction of Lebanese homes in contact-line villages to neutralize threats to Israeli communities, in accordance with the model of Beit Hanun and Rafah in Gaza," Katz said at the time, adding that the military will continue to allow residents of southern Lebanon to evacuate northward.

IDF captures Hezbollah terrorists, sources observe 'low morale' among fightersEarlier, IDF divisions continued their ground incursion into southern Lebanon overnight on Wednesday, maneuvering deeper into Lebanese territory, security sources said.

Several Hezbollah fighters were detained as prisoners of war after surrendering to Israeli forces in the past 24 hours, sources added, saying they were transferred over for interrogation.IDF sources observed "low morale" among the terrorists who were captured, most from the capital, Beirut. Other fighters were said to have managed to flee north of the Litani River.Furthermore, the fighters were said to have employed heavy guerrilla warfare, using the demolished homes as hiding spots between rounds of fire aimed at Israeli troops.

Last week, defense sources told The Jerusalem Post that Israel plans to keep “effective control” of southern Lebanon even for an indefinite period after the current war ends, presuming that Hezbollah will not yet have disarmed.

IDF kills over 40 Hezbollah terrorists in last 24 hours

Later on Thursday, the IDF said that it had killed over 40 Hezbollah terrorists and struck dozens of terror infrastructure sites through air, naval, and ground operations in Lebanon.

IDF terminates Hamasshole Raef Omar Salman Abu Shab Yadda Yadda in Gaza strike

Raef Omar Salman Abu Shab was in charge of the rocket barrage fired at southern Israel from Khan Yunis in the hope of killing Jewish people. This was his task since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas War that began on October 7, 2023 when Hamas attacked Israeli citizens, raped, mutilated, beheaded, burned and otherwise killed men, women, children and babies.

The terrorist scum was killed by IAF aircraft last week in a strike in the Gaza Strip. Shab had been the commander of the Rocket Launching Platoon in Hamas' Eastern District Khan Yunis Battalion. While his past pronouns were he, him and his they are now was, were.

In other military action, in Rafah, the IDF's 162nd Division eliminated a gaggle of terrorists, raided terrorist targets and located a cache of weapons, the IDF reported.

In the past day, the IDF's 252nd Division killed terrorists who had posed a threat to the security forces. The IDF also said they struck 25 Hamasshole targets throughout Gaza comprised of terrorist squads, infrastructure and military structures.

Line up the goats, guys. You're getting company.

IDF finds yet more explosives inside UNRWA supplies near Gaza school

IDF soldiers from the 59th Battalion discovered a cache of weapons that include explosives, suicide vests, and intelligence documents, while conducting searches near a school complex, the IDF reported Thursday afternoon.

Additionally, the soldiers found UNRWA sacks containing hidden explosives intended to target IDF soldiers.

The fighting 162nd Division of the IDF killed about 50 Hamassholes and destroyed their infrastructure near Tel al-Sultan in Rafah between Wednesday and Thursday morning. This included a terror cell that was identified by the Nahal reconnaissance unit, which the IAF struck.

Division 98 operated in the area of Khan Yunis and the outskirts of Deir al-Balah, where they destroyed Hamas infrastructure, discovered rockets, and killed terrorists who loved death more than they loved life, unlike Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar who only wants a ceasefire with Israel if they will guarantee they won't kill him, because the "I love death . . . " yadda yadda, 'is for thee; not for me' he seems to believe.

Israeli Air Force fighter jets also attacked a weapons depot located near a Hamas military site that had previously served as the Salah al-Din School in Gaza City Wednesday evening. At least in this strike, Hamas wasn't holding babies hostage to serve as shields and make Israel look bad.

In several joint operations between the IAF and Division 252, multiple terrorist cells were targeted in the central Gaza Strip, and a booby-trapped building was destroyed.

It's obvious that Hamas is losing in Rafah and is losing the war overall. Now all they need to do is get Sinwar and destroy the coward.

To the chagrin of 'The Squad' IDF kills 100 Hamassholes

Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) are sad upon hearing the latest development from the Israel-Hamas war on August 13.

[H/T The Jerusalem Post.]

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) killed 100 Hamassholes, destroyed terror tunnels in Rafah, and confiscated weaponry used by the terrorists to kill, you know, the Jews.

IDF soldiers from the Givati Brigade operated in the Shabura area in Rafah under the command of the 162nd Division, where they sent approximately 100 terrorists to their reward, the military stated on Tuesday.

Numerous weapons were destroyed along with Hamas infrastructure sites. While searching the area, the IDF located an armed terrorist cell and using precise targeting technology blew them to smithereens.

There was also close quarter combat where the soldiers found and destroyed  booby-trapped buildings and hideout locations. The soldiers engaged in firefights with the scumcrumpets who were barricaded in an apartment in the center of a civilian neighborhood, but could not find any women and children to use as shields and were thus, successfully eliminated.

After the firefight, soldiers entered the building, where they located weapons, military vests and equipment, and an operational tunnel shaft, the IDF reported.

Hopefully, the Jew-hating left will one day come to realize who the bad guys are.

Moving in on Rafah: IDF find tunnels, neutralize mucho terrorists

IDF troops of the 162nd Division and Givati Brigade killed  a number of Hamassholes in close-quarter combat and air strikes in the Eastern region of Rafah in the Gaza Strip. They discovered tunnel shafts in the process, the military said Friday.

In the area of the Rafah crossing, which separates Gaza from Egypt, troops of the 401st Brigade eliminated terrorist squads in close-quarter combat and via aircraft strikes on the Gaza side. 

The IDF added that Israel Air Force (IAF) aircraft were used to strike several 'hot' areas in Rafah, where rockets and mortar shells were launched into Israeli territory, including the Kerem Shalom crossing. [H/T The Jerusalem Post.]

Later on Friday, two launches from Rafah targeting Kerem Shalom were identified and intercepted, the IDF said.

The IDF said troops of the Nahal Brigade and the 2nd Brigade simultaneously carried out activities in Zeitoun in the center of the Strip. They destroyed terror infrastructure and sent a bunch of Jew-hating jihadis to their reward in Jannah where virgins are getting ready to meet and greet them in the pastures where they graze.

In one case, fighter jets struck a terrorist target which was a booby-trapped building that stored a cache of weapons. In addition, fighter jets also struck buildings used by Hamas for anti-tank fire and tunnel shafts.

Over the past day, the IAF destroyed about 40 Hamasshole targets along the Strip, including military buildings, terror squads, observation positions, and more military infrastructure.

So it looks like Israel is doing just fine without the illegal action of President Biden refusing to allow Israel their US allotted weapons.

IDF neutralizes 15 terrorists, destroys Hamas and PIJ infrastructures in Gaza Strip

The Nahal Brigade and Brigade 401, along with units under the command of the 162nd Division killed Hamassholes and destroyed terror infrastructures belonging to them and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the center of the Gaza Strip, the IDF announced on Monday. No civilians were harmed in the operation.

[H/T Jerusalem Post.]

Precision operations were conducted that eliminated the scumcrumpets and destroyed buildings belonging to Hamas and the PIJ along with terror infrastructures.

Conducting precise operations, forces eliminated terrorists and destroyed buildings belonging to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). In addition, the IDF said soldiers found terror infrastructures, as well rocket launchers, equipment, and weapons. 

During one of the operations, Nahal troops identified a terrorist in a structure and in a precise missile strike blew him up into handy, bite-size pieces and sent him on his way to meet his 72 virgins, [one of whom is pictured below].

Nahal forces continue to battle in the Netzarim Corridor, an axis that separates the north and south of the Gaza Strip. They carried out targeted raids on terrorists and terror targets.

And while some admonish Israel for defending itself from the anti-Semitic Islamists and their allies, the Jewish State has vowed that it is going to do what it has to do to defend itself.
