Operation Protective Edge

Since the start of Operation Protective Edge, over 2160 rockets and mortars were fired at Israel. Of them 1,700 hit Israel and 420 were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system. The IDF has targeted over 2,969 terror targets with ground, naval and aerial capabilities. We intend to impair Hamas’ capability to attack Israel.

Operation Protective Edge

Israeli commanders lead from the front. Col. Rasan Alian, commander of the Golani Brigade, was wounded while fighting Hamas in Gaza. Yesterday, he returned to his troops after making a full recovery. “I came back to finish the brigade’s mission”.

On July 21, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel via a tunnel from Gaza. The terrorists were wearing full IDF uniforms and had explosive devices strapped to their bodies. They were engaged and killed by IDF forces.

Today, the Iron Dome missile defense system shot down its 1000th rocket.
The soldiers in the picture above operate an Iron Dome battery. Their work saves Israeli lives everyday.

Despite ongoing terror attacks and constant rocket fire, the IDF goes beyond its legal obligation and transfers truckloads of supplies to Gaza.

31 soldiers have fallen during Operation Protective Edge. May their memory be blessed.
