IDF soldiers were deployed to the scene in the outskirts of Jalud, a village under the jurisdiction of the Samaria Brigade, but found no suspects. 

Israel faces mounting challenges: a stalled ceasefire in Gaza, rising Hezbollah threats in Lebanon, and a critical security opportunity with Syria.

Israel will make its own decision regarding airstrikes on Iran, with coordination between leaders but independent choices based on each nation's interests, US Ambassador Mike Huckabee told KAN News.

Egypt accepted responsibility for the incident, Channel 13 reported, citing an IDF source.

The Thursday strike, per the IDF, was in response to "Hezbollah's continued violations of the ceasefire understandings."

In the past, IDF troops who took their own lives after serving in combat were not accorded burial in a military cemetery or full military honors.

The IDF responded to the incident, saying, “the grave incident is inconsistent with IDF values and with the standards expected from soldiers and commanders in the IDF.”

Further, the ministry stated that the completion of the initiative will "create a standardized, Israeli-manufactured defense system for rapid response teams."

The military noted that it detected the launch coming from Gaza City and that it quickly responded by striking the source of the fire.

The IDF battalion’s leadership will take the stage at The Jerusalem Post Miami Summit to discuss integrating faith, military service, and social cohesion.
