🚨 DAY 27 OF THE WAR 🚨

Overnight, the IDF escalated its ground operations, pushing even deeper into the Gaza Strip. This operation is a joint effort, with ground, air, and naval forces working in unison. They've been conducting simultaneous airstrikes based on operational needs, successfully targeting dozens of Hamas terror positions, including observation posts, anti-tank missile squads, launch posts, naval vessels, and military bases.

We've just concluded a pivotal meeting. The leadership of Zaka Tel-Aviv engaged in a comprehensive discussion with the European Union Ambassador to Israel, Mr. Dimitar Tzantsev. The conversation centered on the relentless efforts of our volunteers in the Gaza Strip, the Shura camp, and the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Abu Kabir. The ambassador and his team received a detailed overview of our activities since the onset of the 'Iron Swords' war, underscoring the invaluable work Zaka Tel-Aviv has been undertaking.

In addition, last night, we were honored with an endorsement from Israel's Defence Minister, Yoav Galant. He passionately expressed profound gratitude to Zaka Tel-Aviv's volunteers, emphasizing our exceptional work during these challenging times and the unique Jewish spirit that propels our mission.

The tragic toll since our entry into Gaza has risen, with 18 IDF soldiers now tragically lost in the line of duty. In these heart-wrenching times, Zaka's work becomes even more crucial, as we strive to provide support, care, and dignity amidst the chaos.

Wishing you all the best.

Warm regards,

Yoni Gilboa
