Israel is at war with the Hamas, not the Palestinian people. It is essential that we continue to share this fact of who we are at war with. Not a single Jew we know of wants to harm the Palestinian people.
With this fact in mind, we share a collection of updates the IDF has provided.

A terrorist details the sexual violence and rape committed in the October 7th Massacre
Unit 504 of the Intelligence Directorate reveals footage of an interrogation of a terrorist from the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization, who admits to raping an Israeli woman during the massacre and murdering civilians.
The terrorist, Manar Mahmoud Muhammad Kasem, an operative of the naval force of the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization, was apprehended at the beginning of March by soldiers of Unit 504 who operated under the 98th Division in the Khan Yunis area. In his interrogation, he described in precise detail the atrocities he committed, according to him: “The devil took over me, I laid her down, started undressing her and did what I did.”
The footage of the interrogation is further proof of the onslaught of murder and sexual violence by the terrorist organizations on October 7th, in an attempt to make the voices of those who can no longer tell be heard.
The Chief of the General Staff to the Bedouin Reconnaissance Battalion: “You prove every day that anyone who enlists to become a combat soldier is a role model for all of Israel’s citizens and is an example and a beacon in the Bedouin community”
Yesterday (Wednesday), the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi, visited the Bedouin Reconnaissance Battalion (585) in the Gaza Division on the occasion of Ramadan, together with the Head of the Manpower Directorate and the Commander of the Gaza Division. During the visit, LTG Halevi spoke with the battalion’s commanders and its soldiers, and heard about their significant efforts during the war.
Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi:
“From the first days [of the war], we have been meeting people from the Bedouin community, fighting together, walking side by side. People were injured, good friends, with whom we always went shoulder to shoulder into the most complex, dangerous places, in partnership and with courage. Our second response to this war, given that those who came to attack, as we know, did not make exceptions for those who were Muslim when they encountered them, they shot at them, and they were from the Bedouin community to our great regret, and one of our responses is to be stronger together. I see the unit as a very very special place, that we want to develop, we want to expand, we want to strengthen, and this comes with challenges. You prove every day that anyone who enlists to become a combat soldier is a role model for all of Israel’s citizens and is an example and a beacon in the Bedouin community. I know that even those who offer criticism highly appreciate your courage and your readiness. Thank you very much.”
