On the 13th (local time), the IDF stated in a press release, "In the more than two weeks since the launch of the ground offensive in the Gaza Strip, we have conducted over 4,300 attacks," explaining that the targets included hundreds of anti-tank missile launchers and over 300 tunnel entrances.

The IDF added that about 3,000 attacks targeted Hamas's infrastructure, and more than 100 strikes hit buildings and command posts where Hamas operatives were located.

As the ground battle in the Gaza Strip intensifies, clashes are also becoming more frequent along the northern border region.

The IDF is responding with airstrikes and other measures to attacks by the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and some Hamas operatives.

On this day as well, an anti-tank missile fired from southern Lebanon landed in the northern Israeli village of Netu'a, and earlier, 18 mortar shells were fired, triggering sirens in the village of Arab al-Aramshe.

The IDF stated that it responded with artillery fire targeting the mortar and anti-tank missile launch sites.

The previous day, an anti-tank missile launched from Lebanon landed near workers repairing power lines in Israel, causing multiple injuries.

In response, the IDF conducted overnight airstrikes on Hezbollah bases and other locations.
