The IDF ground forces continue to fight in the Gaza Strip in a multi-armed effort with the air and naval forces. In parallel with the expansion of ground activity by the ground forces, a combined multi-armed effort is underway with the Navy and Air Force, in order to neutralize ground threats and significantly harm the Hamas terrorist organization. During the activities, fighter jets and helicopters, along with remotely piloted aircraft, vessels and artillery, assist the ground forces with guidance and air strikes according to operational needs from the air. In addition, the information collected in real time is immediately transmitted to the air forces and naval forces, and on its basis, combined IDF attacks are carried out. In these attacks, dozens of Hamas terrorist organization targets were destroyed, including observation posts, anti-tank squads and launchers, vessels and military posts. In addition, terrorists were eliminated, infiltrations into Israeli territory were prevented, and terrorist incidents were thwarted. The commander of Squadron 105, Lieutenant Colonel T., said: "The Air Force is assisting with fire and constitutes an aerial umbrella and protective force for fighters on the ground. The attacks are of a strength that the Hamas terrorist organization has never encountered. We are working in close cooperation with the land and sea branches, shoulder to shoulder until victory.""
