‘We will not allow the Hamas terrorist organization to rebuild its power or threaten us again.’

Troops from the Northern Brigade Combat Team uncovered a rocket launcher loaded with five rockets and prepared for launch.

IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said the IDF has crushed Hamas’s frontline forces, secured a new defensive line in Gaza, and is fully committed to permanently disarming Hamas and ensuring Israel never returns to the reality of October 7.

Throughout 2025, the IDF fought terror on its borders, including a direct war with Iran that crippled its ballistic and nuclear capabilities and secured the return of all but one hostage from Gaza.
