IDF's Shaldag unit dismantles Iranian missile factory in Syria, preventing the production of hundreds of long-range missiles in a high-stakes operation.

In August 2024, the IDF decided that it should explore a special forces combined ground and air operation to destroy the facility, which ended up occurring on September 8.

With the fall of the regime, information security officials likely view any threat of retaliation from Syria as being at a much lower risk level.

The soldier successfully passed the grueling selection process, which includes a rigorous five-day screening that tests both physical and mental endurance.

Snipers from the Egoz unit carried out several precise strikes over the course of several hours using methods adapted to fight enemies that hide underground.

These units have been active in Khan Yunis since the beginning of the month, killing Hamas operatives and destroying tunnel shafts used by Hamas terrorists.

The LOTAR combat team, operating in the north Gaza city of Beit Hanoun, observed a terrorist emerging from a tunnel before firing a burst of shots at the Israeli forces.

The families of the wounded soldiers have been informed.

Israel has rightly stated the release of the hostages as one of the main objectives of this war, along with destroying Hamas’s military capabilities and toppling it from power.
