IDF Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee marks two years since the elimination of Mohammed Deif, one of the masterminds of the October 7 massacre.

Adraee: "Where is the terrorist Mohammed Deif? In the dustbin of history."

He says Deif was hiding among civilians in the Al-Mawasi area and was not killed in battle, but used women and children as human shields inside people's tents.

WILD STORY 🔴

12 year old Lebanese girl messages Israeli Arabic Army spokesman asking him to bomb her school.

She wrote: “Listen brother, I want to give you very important information. In Choueifat National College school, there are Hezbollah weapons, a rocket launcher room, and shelters underground with weapons. I wanted to give you this information, the rest is up to you.”

Reports say the student sent the message to Avichay Adraee because she did not want to attend classes. Israeli drones later flew over the area, causing panic among residents.

The school said it requested a security investigation involving the girl and her family, warning legal action against anyone harming the school’s reputation.

IDF Spokesperson in Arabic, Lt. Col. Avichay Adra'i:

“Glory is not built on speeches, but on the pace of the soldiers' steps. Control over the Bint Jbeil stadium is not just a military achievement, but the shattering of a symbol of arrogance. Those who threatened us with flabbiness, their fortresses have collapsed in the face of our steadfastness. They thought we were weaker than a spider's web, and today we stood up to show the world the truth. The Israel Defense Forces are turning the page of illusions within their own home. The statement is ours, and the action is our doing."
