00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:10.279
<v Speaker 1>The time is now six oh one am in New York.

2
00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel Today

3
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:18.160
<v Speaker 1>ongoing war report. In Operation Lions Roar, a joint statement

4
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:21.800
<v Speaker 1>from the IDF spokesperson and the shin Bet spokesperson says

5
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 1>forces conducted a precise strike to remove a threat in

6
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the northern Gaza Strip, eliminating the deputy commander of the

7
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 1>Gaza City Brigade in Hamas's military wing, Imad Hassen. Hassen,

8
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>a Slim who led operations by the Zetam battalion into

9
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Israeli territory during the October seven attacks, was killed the

10
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.799
<v Speaker 1>day before yesterday. In recent years, and especially recently, a

11
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Slim promoted dozens of terror plans against IDF forces operating

12
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>in the Gaza Strip and posed an immediate threat in

13
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 1>direct Israel Iran clashes. Israeli troops reportedly fired on a

14
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:58.399
<v Speaker 1>civilian plane flying over the area after residents of bait

15
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.439
<v Speaker 1>L reported Unidea entified drones overhead. The army says it

16
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.239
<v Speaker 1>will investigate the incident, and there were no reports of

17
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 1>damage or injuries. It later emerged that plane traffic for

18
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Bengurian Airport had been shifted eastward, causing aircraft to fly

19
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>at relatively low altitude over Batel, which may have prompted

20
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 1>the drone reports. The army is also examining whether a

21
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 1>police drone was in the area. The episode comes as

22
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 1>troops face attacks from Hesberlar in the region, including FPV

23
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>drones that are difficult to counter, highlighting the broader security

24
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 1>challenges in the area in the conflict with Iran and

25
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>its regional proxies. The IDF believes Hamass operates fiber optic

26
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>drones in Gaza, similar to those used by Hesbella in

27
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.719
<v Speaker 1>the north. A Southern Command officer told Waller that there

28
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 1>is no complete solution yet to intercept these fiber optic drones,

29
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>which transmit data and commands via a thin fiber optic cable,

30
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>giving them immunity to electronic warfare and enabling high quality

31
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.519
<v Speaker 1>video and precise strikes. The officer noted that readiness for

32
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>scenarios involving gliders and rocket barrages is necessary, though there

33
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.599
<v Speaker 1>is no current assessment of escalation or immediate plans to

34
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>use these weapons against Israel or IDF troops. Thank you
