NATIONAL AFFAIRS: For now, Israel’s institutions are holding the line. But how long they can continue to do so under such relentless pressure remains an open question.
In his first speech, IDF chief spokesman Brig.-Gen. Effie Defrin added that the military had struck 600 terror targets since the start of the renewed invasion of Gaza.
The strike, carried out in the Derdghaiya area of southern Lebanon, was led by the 91st Division.
Israeli officials are holding discussions on whether to respond to the recent missiles launched from Yemen.
The announcement showed the IDF keeping the newly increased pressure on Hamas since Israel renewed hostilities at 2:10 a.m. Tuesday.
The IDF said it "did not strike a UN compound in Deir el Balah," and called on media outlets to act with caution regarding unverified reports.
