Palestinian Islamic Jihad

Abu Hamza Rami, Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s Lebanon commander, was responsible for advancing and carrying out hundreds of terrorist attacks against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians.

"We will continue to insist that Hezbollah be disarmed - this is a demand we will not relinquish. The IDF will not conclude the campaign before the threat from Lebanon is eliminated," Zamir said.

The tunnels crossed into IDF-controlled areas east of the yellow line, with the IDF attacking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon later on Thursday.

Israel, with the help of Syria's new government led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, has succeeded at blocking much of the cross-border Lebanon-Syria weapons smuggling activities.

Israeli forces attacked terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip, as well as Gaza City in the central region and Khan Yunis in the south. 

During the operation, the IDF arrested multiple suspects affiliated with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad and seized tens of thousands of shekels in alleged terror funds, the IDF said. 

According to the IDF, the suspect has been transfered to security forces for further processing and investigation. 

St.-Sgt.-Maj. Ran Gvili was the final hostage whose remains were held in the Gaza Strip. His remains were located and returned to Israel for burial on January 26.

The IDF arrested 60 suspects and seized firearms in counterterrorism operations across the West Bank. A terrorist also opened fire on soldiers in Gaza near the Yellow Line.

Also on Wednesday, the IDF and Shin Bet announced the killing of Muhammad Issam Hassan al-Habil, who murdered IDF Cpl. Noa Marciano.
