Overview
The southern sector: IDF fighters continued battling terrorists in the Israeli villages
and IDF posts in the area surrounding the Gaza Strip. Later in the day, the IDF spokesman
announced that full control of the fence had been regained. The massive attacks against Gaza
from the air, sea and land continued. The terrorist organizations launched rocket barrage
after barrage, although fewer than during the first two days. Several people were injured and
property damage was reported.
Many Gazans sought shelter from the IDF attacks in UNRWA schools. Hamas hinted
they would harm the Israeli captives if Israel continued the attacks. Hamas also continued to
encourage the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria and Israeli Arabs to join the war and called
for focusing activity this coming Friday, October 13, 2023. Ali Barake, a senior Hamas figure,
gave in an interview in which he revealed details about Hamas' terrorist attacks, claiming that
neither Iran nor Hezbollah had participated in carrying it out. He also claimed Hamas had
sufficient weapons and operatives for an extended campaign.
The northern sector: Tensions rose in the north of Israel after a terrorist squad of
Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) operatives infiltrated Israeli territory. Two of the terrorists were
killed and a third returned to Lebanese territory. In the clashes with the terrorists an IDF officer
was killed and five soldiers were injured. In response, the IDF shot and killed a number of
Hezbollah operatives. Hezbollah then fired mortar shells at two IDF bases in northern Israel,
"as an initial response."
Judea and Samaria: Throughout Judea and Samaria there were several attacks and
attempts to carry out attacks. Palestinians also held rallies and demonstrations in support of
the wars. Two Palestinians were killed during clashes with Israeli security forces. Senior
Palestinian Authority (PA) figures continued "diplomatic" activity while blaming Israel for the
situation.
