Friend,
Today, FIDF received an exclusive briefing from Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus — the international spokesman for the IDF — regarding the escalation in Israel as a result of the IDF's swift action against Palestinian Islamic Jihad senior commander Baha Abu al-Ata yesterday.
I invite you to listen to a recording of the briefing by clicking here.
At this time, Southern and Central Israel remain under attack by PIJ rocket fire. Hamas has not joined the Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket fire and seems to have no interest in escalating the situation at the moment.
In response to the rocket fire, the brave soldiers of the IDF are intercepting rockets using the Iron Dome batteries. Troops continue to attack PIJ targets to avoid dragging Hamas into the conflict and risking further escalation.
At this stage, neither side seems to have any interest in intensifying the situation. The official assessment is that it will not deteriorate to a level that would require an extensive military operation. Despite that, we know that today is today, and tomorrow is tomorrow in the Middle East. Things can change at any moment — immediately and dramatically.
We continue to carefully monitor the situation on the ground in Israel and will keep you apprised of any updates.
For now, please listen to Lt. Col Conricus' briefing and pray for peace for our citizens, our soldiers, and our homeland.
With respect and appreciation,
Klifi
