🔎 GAZA OPERATIONS, DRONE INCIDENTS AND BORDER SECURITY

🕑 Published: July 27, 2026 · 9:53 PM Israel time

🕳️ IDF troops dismantled another section of Hamas’ underground network in northern Gaza. Northern Gaza Brigade and Yahalom Unit forces operating under the 99th Division destroyed a tunnel route extending hundreds of meters east of the Yellow Line.

The operation formed part of continued efforts to clear the area of terrorist infrastructure. The IDF released footage from inside the tunnel and of its dismantling.

🎯 Three senior Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives were eliminated in Gaza. The IDF killed Amro Abu Alrish, a Nukhba terrorist in Islamic Jihad’s military wing, in a precise strike in southern Gaza.

Abu Alrish had participated in the transfer and release of an unidentified Israeli civilian from Islamic Jihad captivity. He also fought IDF troops, participated in attacks, trained Nukhba terrorists and worked to rebuild the organization’s capabilities.

A separate strike in northern Gaza eliminated Abd Al-Nasser Al-Aziz Maqadmeh, a Hamas police commander and deputy platoon commander in the group’s military wing. He had recently advanced attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians.

The IDF and Shin Bet also eliminated Wael Musa Khaled Ladawi in the Deir al-Balah area. Ladawi headed Hamas’ Internal Security apparatus in central Gaza, which gathered intelligence for senior officials, supported decision-making and facilitated the planning and execution of attacks against Israel.

✈️ Two separate drone incidents were resolved without an identified threat inside Israel. The IDF intercepted two UAVs near the Dead Sea along the Jordanian border before they entered Israeli territory. No sirens were activated under protocol, and their origin remains under investigation.

A drone found near Kibbutz Nahal Oz was subsequently identified as an IDF aircraft. There is no suspicion of a security incident, although the circumstances remain under review.

🚔 Four terrorists were apprehended following an attack and weapon theft near Susya. The suspects were involved in assaulting an off-duty IDF soldier and stealing his weapon on Saturday.

Security forces recovered the weapon and detained two suspects during searches. Duvdevan troops apprehended a third near Yatta overnight, while a fourth later surrendered to Civil Administration personnel.

All four were transferred for further investigation.

📍 Two Israeli activists were detained after crossing from Mount Hermon into Syria. IDF troops located the civilians, returned them to Israeli territory and transferred them to the Israel Police.

The activists identify with Bashan Pioneers, which advocates establishing Israeli communities in southern Syria. Similar border-crossing attempts associated with the group have increased in recent weeks.

The IDF condemned the incident as a serious disruption of operational activity that endangered troops and called for legal action to prevent repeated violations. No charges have been filed over previous incidents involving the group, which has also received support from coalition lawmakers.
