🎯 IDF DISMANTLES HEZBOLLAH UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE: The IDF released documentation of 55th Brigade and Yahalom troops, operating under Division 91, dismantling an underground shaft in the southern Lebanon Security Zone that Hezbollah used for weapons storage.
Troops located Kalashnikov-type rifles, missiles, anti-tank launchers, artillery weapons and RPG rockets. The IDF said operations in the Security Zone are aimed at eliminating threats to Israeli civilians.
♟️ TRUMP DESCRIBES LIMITED U.S.-IRAN NEGOTIATIONS: President Trump told Axios that Washington is “low-keying it” with Iran and is only “semi-negotiating while monitoring the country's worsening economic situation”. He said Iran is “in very bad shape” and has little money to pay its troops, adding: “It will work out. It always works out. It is like a chess game.”
🏠 CENTRAL COMMAND ADVANCES DEMOLITION PROCESS IN BEIT IMRIN: The Central Command commander signed a notice of intent to confiscate and demolish the home of terrorist Duas Hassoun. The notice concerning the Beit Imrin home was delivered last Friday.
Hassoun carried out the March 21, 2026 attack in which Yehuda Sherman, of blessed memory, was murdered and another civilian was wounded.
✡️ MILITARY RABBINATE GRADUATES 78 NEW OFFICERS: Seventy-eight cadets, ranging from age 23 to over 50, completed the six-week IDF Military Rabbis Course and received lieutenant or captain ranks. The program combines combat-command training with halachic and professional instruction for service alongside maneuvering battalions.
Their responsibilities include kashrut, Shabbat procedures, religious and spiritual support, operational halachic decisions, casualty identification and evacuation. The course concluded with an intensive field exercise in Ben Shemen Forest involving navigation, combat equipment, kashrut, halacha and casualty-identification and burial scenarios.
Many graduates have already completed five to seven reserve rotations. About 20% are expected to volunteer for career service, while the remainder will return to reserve duty with their battalions.
