The possibility that there are terrorists who infiltrated Israel through tunnels is being investigated.
At this time there are 6 open fighting centers in the Gaza Strip. Tonight, about 70 terrorists infiltrated Kibbutz Bari, and after an exchange of fire - most of them were killed. There are also terrorists who barricaded themselves in houses in the kibbutz. In Gaza village, a force identified 7 terrorists, and after an exchange of fire they escaped and are currently hiding in the kibbutz fields. Additional centers in Nirim, Alumim, Shaar Hanegev, Nir Oz and Holit.
There are still terrorists on the ground.
"We are in intelligence and operational coordination with the US military - Iran sees this, and if we see attempts by Iranian emissaries to act - maybe it will lead to an American attack."
The IDF spokesman in response to the allegations of a lack of equipment: "There is no shortage of equipment in the IDF. It takes time to move some of the equipment, but there is no shortage.'
The abducted and the missing: General Lior Carmeli was appointed to coordinate the mapping of the issue at the ACA. We will send senior officers to the families of the abductees to be in contact with them, we will also build an intelligence picture through a special team of AMN. At this stage I will not comment on Hamas's reports on the number of abductees - when the true picture is consolidated, we will report to you.
