Day 370 of the war: The IDF continued its anti-terrorism operation in Gaza, with the 401 Brigade engaging terrorists in Jabalia. The north remained under relentless attack, with multiple rocket barrages from Lebanon targeting cities including Menara, Karmiel, Metula, and Kiryat Shmona, with two sustaining light injuries.
The Iron Dome system successfully intercepted a drone from Gaza, while security forces thwarted a potentially devastating ISIS-affiliated attack planned for Tel Aviv. Tragically, a victim of the Hadera stabbing, a father of eight, succumbed to his wounds.
On the diplomatic front, the Diplomatic-Security Cabinet is set to convene to discuss an appropriate response to Iran's recent aggression.
