The operation officially began on May 9, 2023, and concluded in a ceasefire agreement on May 13. A moment that is both historic and timely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The trigger: A terrorist dies in Israeli prison<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring Shield and Arrow, the IDF eliminated six senior PIJ commanders and over 19 additional operatives. Hundreds of targets were struck, including rocket stockpiles, launchers, and command centers. PIJ fired more than 1,400 rockets and missiles at Israel\u2014about one-fifth of which misfired. The Iron Dome intercepted over 430 rockets with a 95% success rate, and David\u2019s Sling carried out two successful interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>On May 2, 2023, Khader Adnan, a PIJ member, died in an Israeli prison after a prolonged hunger strike. Days earlier, military judge Lt. Col. Menachem Drori had ruled that Adnan would not be released, despite warnings about his deteriorating condition. In response to his death, PIJ terrorists launched 102 rockets toward Sderot and Israeli communities near Gaza. Despite several injuries, Israel held off on responding for a week. The operation began on Lag BaOmer\u2014hence its name.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22975\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22975\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22975 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-91.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-91.webp 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-91-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-91-768x576.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22975\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Then\u2013Chief of Staff Lt.

Three senior PIJ commanders\u2014Khalil al-Bahtini, Jihad Ghanam, and Tarek Ezzedine\u2014were killed, along with ten others, including family members and neighbors. Following the strikes, a special emergency status was declared in communities near Gaza, roads were closed, and gathering restrictions were imposed. Later that day, the Air Force struck anti-tank squads and killed two terrorists.<\/p>\n<p><strong>May 10 \u2013 Day 2 of the Operation<\/strong><br \/>\nA terrorist cell in Khan Younis was hit in an airstrike, and weapons production facilities were destroyed. Rocket barrages began later in the day, targeting Tel Aviv, Ashdod, and other areas. Most rockets were successfully intercepted by Iron Dome. Despite reports of a possible ceasefire that evening, Israel denied them and continued the operation. That day, 469 rockets were fired\u2014333 crossed into Israeli territory, and 153 were intercepted.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"rtl\" lang=\"iw\">\u05ea\u05d9\u05e2\u05d5\u05d3 \u05e9\u05dc \u05d9\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05d8\u05d9 \u05db\u05d9\u05e4\u05ea \u05d1\u05e8\u05d6\u05dc \u05d1\u05de\u05d4\u05dc\u05da \u05de\u05d1\u05e6\u05e2 &#8220;\u05de\u05d2\u05df \u05d5\u05d7\u05e5&#8221;: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fJ1nGKm1St\">pic.twitter.com\/fJ1nGKm1St<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u05e6\u05d1\u05d0 \u05d4\u05d4\u05d2\u05e0\u05d4 \u05dc\u05d9\u05e9\u05e8\u05d0\u05dc (@idfonline) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/idfonline\/status\/1657326343833415681?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 13, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>May 11 \u2013 Day 3 of the Operation<\/strong><br \/>\nOvernight, the Air Force targeted northern Gaza, killing three senior PIJ members, including Ali Hassan Ghali. Rocket fire resumed in the morning, while airstrikes continued against launch pits and command posts. In the evening, an 80-year-old woman was killed by a rocket in Rehovot, and 16 civilians were injured. The Navy joined the operation, and the IDF killed Ahmad Abu Daqqa, deputy commander of PIJ\u2019s rocket force.<\/p>\n<p><strong>May 12 \u2013 Day 4 of the Operation<\/strong><br \/>\nA total of 866 rockets were identified\u2014672 crossed into Israeli territory, and 260 were intercepted. Strikes continued throughout the day, while rocket fire targeted the Jerusalem Hills and Beitar Illit. The IDF eliminated Iyad al-Hassani, head of PIJ\u2019s operations division. That evening, more strikes were carried out against rocket launchers and military positions in Gaza, and additional barrages were launched at Sderot, Ashkelon, and Ofakim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>May 13 \u2013 Day 5 of the Operation<\/strong><br \/>\nOn the final day of the operation, rocket fire resumed in the morning toward the Gaza border region and Ashkelon. The IDF continued targeting rocket launchers. In the afternoon, more barrages were fired at southern and central Israel, and several workers were injured by mortar fire. Negotiations for a ceasefire progressed throughout the evening, and the ceasefire went into effect at 10:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>After the ceasefire<\/strong><br \/>\nRocket fire from Gaza continued for about 13 minutes after the ceasefire took effect, triggering more sirens. In response, the IDF struck PIJ launch sites in northern Gaza. The head of the National Security Council later announced the end of the round of fighting. However, the IDF continued its strikes following further rocket launches. Between 10:00 and 11:11 p.m., around 37 rockets were launched\u201412 were intercepted by Iron Dome, 16 fell in open areas, and the remainder landed inside Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after midnight, the IDF carried out further strikes in Gaza in response to post-ceasefire rocket fire. Roughly 20 hours later, PIJ violated the ceasefire again with a single rocket launched toward Zikim, Netiv HaAsara, and southern Ashkelon. It landed in an open area without causing injuries or damage. Palestinian sources claimed it was a technical malfunction. In response, the IDF struck Hamas targets in northern Gaza.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22976\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22976\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22976 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3-57-1024x673.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3-57-1024x673.webp 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3-57-300x197.webp 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3-57-768x505.webp 768w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3-57-1536x1010.webp 1536w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3-57.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22976\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">36 years since the founding of the terror group.

True, they could have ended even more favorably (such as avoiding the War of Attrition, which we won\u2019t go into here), but the enemy was clearly defeated. In contrast, the Yom Kippur War ended with each side claiming victory. Since Operation Peace for Galilee\u2014initially promising but ultimately a failure in the First Lebanon War\u2014Israel has not achieved a total victory in any war or military campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The Second Lebanon War, and Operations Cast Lead, Pillar of Defense, and Protective Edge all ended in an illusion of quiet. It was obvious another round was only a matter of time\u2014not a question of \u201cif,\u201d but \u201cwhen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 1948 and 1967, the sword was at our throat\u2014we feared a second Holocaust. Over time, we became more complacent\u2014perhaps even tired of war and mourning. We withdrew behind fences and walls, forgot our surroundings, and chose temporary calm. This fostered a tendency to avoid decisive outcomes. When civilians focus on protecting soldiers instead of trusting soldiers to protect civilians, we create a situation that prevents military victory. The result is the opposite: repeated rounds of fighting, growing costs, and rising numbers of casualties.<\/p>\n<p>After over a year and a half of war since the massacre, the question remains\u2014can we afford to continue this cycle? It\u2019s time to revive our concept of victory\u2014of decisive resolution. It\u2019s time for total victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several weeks before October 7, Israel launched Operation Shield and Arrow in Gaza; Two years later, we must learn the lesson: decisive defeat of the enemy and total victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":22974,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77,88,6],"tags":[1476,1477,5606,1475,1930,5608,1529,5607,5605,5609],"class_list":["post-22972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-idf","category-will-remember","category-security","tag-gaza","tag-hamas","tag-historical-moment","tag-idf","tag-iron-dome","tag-israeli-military-strategy","tag-israeli-security","tag-operation-shield-and-arrow","tag-palestinian-islamic-jihad","tag-rocket-attacks-on-israel"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v24.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How Shield and Arrow Foreshadowed October 7 - REGA news<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How Shield and Arrow Foreshadowed October 7\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Several weeks before October 7, Israel launched Operation Shield and Arrow in Gaza;
