Under the direction of Division 36, the Kfir Brigade has killed dozens of terrorists, as well as destroyed Hamas infrastructure and weaponry as part of Operation Gideon's Chariots
The Kfir Brigade, under the direction of Division 36, joined the fighting in Khan Yunis as part of Operation Gideon's Chariots, the IDF said in a statement Friday.
The troops have killed dozens of terrorists, located and destroyed terrorist infrastructure and weaponry.
The team used drones to destroy explosives sites and booby trapped buildings used by Hamas.
The Kfir Brigade previously served under the command of Division 162 for nearly three months in northern Gaza, finishing the operation in January.
"We operated for sixty-four days in northern Gaza. Sixty-four days of operating without breaks or rotations. We worked to destroy Hamas above and below ground," Kfir Brigade sources said. "
IDF publishes footage of Kfir Brigade operation in Khan Yunis, May 30, 2025.
"We killed over 300 terrorists, including senior operatives who caused a lot of trouble. We paid a very heavy price in the fighting. In six incidents, we lost 12 soldiers and commanders. We had dozens of wounded, some of whom have already returned to combat."
The Kfir Brigade has been operating in Gaza and southern Lebanon, and has conducted counter-terrorism operations in the West Bank since Israel's multi-front war began in October 2023.

ADL leader condemns ‘rage-filled, violent attacks' at peaceful Jewish events

Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO Jonathan Greenblatt condemned the recent 'rage-filled, violent attacks' at Jewish gatherings and called on public officials to do more before 'the crisis escalates even further.' In a post Sunday on X, Greenblatt connected the Sunday attack in Boulder, Colo.— which targeted a group of peaceful participants in a weekly walk to call for the return of hostages in Gaza — to the killing of a young couple outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., last month. In both scenarios, the suspected perpetrators were heard to shout 'free Palestine' during or after the attack. 'This is the second violent attack on the US Jewish community in two weeks,' Greenblatt wrote in a post on X. 'First, a young couple slaughtered in DC. And now, a firebomb thrown at a group in Boulder, Colorado, as they gathered to express solidarity with the 58 hostages still being held in Gaza by Hamas terrorists.' 'Two peaceful Jewish events that ended with rage-filled, violent attacks,' he added. Greenblatt also pointed to recent examples of vandalism and violence against Jewish people in places around the world. 'We're witnessing a global campaign of intimidation and terror deliberately directed against the Jewish people,' Greenblatt said, adding, 'Sadly, none of this is surprising. In fact, it's entirely predictable. This is precisely where anti-Jewish incitement leads. This is exactly what vicious anti-Zionism enables.' His statement comes hours after six people were injured in the Colorado attack, which the FBI and local law enforcement are investigating as an act of terrorism. A suspect in custody used a 'makeshift flamethrower' and incendiary devices to attack the individuals and 'was heard to yell 'free Palestine,' during the attack,' according to FBI special agent in charge Mark Michalek. The victims, attending a regular weekly event, ranged in age from 67 to 88 and all are hospitalized, with two people having been airlifted to a burn unit. Greenblatt called on 'elected officials, community groups, media platforms, faith leaders' to 'commit to taking action before this crisis escalates even further.' 'Stop excusing antisemitic rhetoric. Stop platforming anti-Zionist hate. Stop equivocating when Jews are attacked. Stand with your Jewish friends and neighbors… …before things get even worse,' Greenblatt added in his statement.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman: What we know about illegal immigrant accused in Colorado terror attack

The suspect accused in a "targeted terror attack" in Boulder, Colorado, where a pro-Israel group was advocating for Hamas to release the Israeli hostages, was in the United States illegally, Fox News has learned. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested and taken to the hospital with minor injuries after his alleged attack on the "Run for Their Lives" group that was gathering on Pearl Street, police said Sunday night. The group is a grassroots organization that facilitates global run and walk events calling for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. This particular chapter of the group meets on a weekly basis, police said. Soliman is an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa after entering the U.S. during the Biden administration, three Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sources told Fox News. Colorado Terror Attack Took Place At 'Run For Their Lives' Event Calling For Release Of All Hostages In Gaza Soliman first arrived in the U.S. after landing at Los Angeles International Airport on Aug. 27, 2022, with a non-immigrant visa. Read On The Fox News App He was authorized to stay through Feb. 2, 2023, but never left. On Sept. 9, 2022, he filed a claim with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. On March 29, 2023, Soliman was granted work authorization, which was valid through March of this year. "A terror attack was committed in Boulder, Colorado by an illegal alien," White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller wrote on X. "He was granted a tourist visa by the Biden Administration and then he illegally overstayed that visa. In response, the Biden Administration gave him a work permit. Suicidal migration must be fully reversed." Soliman was allegedly yelling "Free Palestine" during the attack, which was near the county courthouse on Pearl Street. Police responded to the area after receiving reports of a man with weapon setting people on fire. Fbi Investigating 'Targeted Terror Attack' In Boulder, Colorado, Kash Patel Says The FBI said eight people, ages 52 to 88, were injured and taken to the hospital. One of those victims is considered to be in critical condition. FBI deputy director Dan Bongino said the attack is being investigated as an act of "ideologically motivated violence," based on early information, evidence and witness accounts. Soliman was booked into the Boulder County Jail on Sunday evening. The specific charges he is facing were not immediately available. Fox News Digital's Alexandra Koch and Landon Mion contributed to this report. Original article source: Mohamed Sabry Soliman: What we know about illegal immigrant accused in Colorado terror attack

Tensions rise as Israel strongly denies firing on Palestinians at Gaza humanitarian site

Drone footage released by the Israel Defense Forces shows armed and masked people in Gaza shooting civilians, Israel said Sunday, amid claims, which have been staunchly denied, that the IDF killed dozens of people collecting humanitarian aid. The IDF said it was releasing additional information amid false reports that its soldiers fired upon civilians at an aid distribution site. "Findings from an initial inquiry indicate that the IDF did not fire at civilians while they were near or within the humanitarian aid distribution site and that reports to this effect are false," the IDF said in a statement. "The IDF is cooperating with the American Civil Organization (GHF) and international aid organizations in order to enable the distribution of aid to the Gazan residents — and not to Hamas." Cease-fire Between Israel And Hamas Getting Closer Amid Concerns Terror Group Rearming In Gaza The agency also said that Hamas has done everything it can to disrupt food distribution efforts in the Gaza Strip. Israel quickly pushed back amid reports that at least 26 Palestinians were killed and some 175 were wounded while attempting to get food, according to officials from the Hamas-run health ministry and witnesses. Read On The Fox News App Witnesses said Israeli forces fired on crowds around 1,000 yards away from an aid site run by the Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). A Palestinian journalist told the BBC that thousands had gathered near the aid site outside Gaza's southern city of Rafah when Israeli tanks approached and opened fire on the crowd. The GHF has denied previous accounts of chaos and gunfire around its sites, which are in Israeli military zones where independent access is limited. Israel Reimposes Blockade Of Northern Gaza, Including Capital Gaza City Israel has long said that Hamas routinely prevents aid from reaching civilians, while also deliberately putting them in harms' way. "Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization that starves and endangers the population in order to preserve its control over the Gaza Strip. As part of its brutal behavior and its attempts to disrupt humanitarian aid, Hamas directly harms the residents of Gaza," the IDF said Sunday. IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said Hamas is spreading false rumors and "fake news" to stop Israel from distributing aid. "I urge not to believe every rumor spread by Hamas," he said while in Rafah. "We will investigate each and every one of those incidents and each and every one of those allegations. We are a professional military." In a separate incident overnight, the IDF said troops fired warning shots in the direction of several people advancing toward them near a humanitarian aid distribution site. "Overnight, approximately one kilometer away from the humanitarian aid distribution site, and outside the operating hours of the humanitarian aid distribution site, IDF troops acted to prevent several suspects from approaching the troops. During the activity, warning shots were fired toward several suspects who advanced toward the troops. There is no connection between this incident and the false claims made against the IDF."Original article source: Tensions rise as Israel strongly denies firing on Palestinians at Gaza humanitarian site
