The artillery batteries of the IDF’s 282nd Brigade, under the command of the 36th Division, launched their first ground operation in the Gaza Strip since the start of the Swords of Iron War, the IDF Spokesperson announced this evening (Monday). The forces are operating in the Morag corridor, delivering heavy artillery fire as part of the support for maneuvering ground troops.
Since the beginning of the operation, more than 5,000 shells have been fired at terror targets. During the campaign, IDF forces destroyed weapons depots, Hamas and other organizations’ launch sites, and eliminated numerous terrorists — with precise fire guided by the brigade’s fire coordination unit.
First Operational Launch of the “Bar” Rocket in Gaza
For the first time in the field, artillery forces carried out an operational launch of the “Bar” rocket — an advanced rocket equipped with a unique navigation system designed for complex combat environments. The rocket is capable of striking targets within a very short time frame, enabling the IDF to deliver firepower that is faster, more precise, and more effective than ever before.
The IDF emphasized that forces will continue targeting terror infrastructure to ensure the security of Israeli citizens. “We will continue to act with full force against every terror threat from the Gaza Strip,” the IDF Spokesperson stated.
