Israel Conducts Operations in Gaza, Lebanon, and West Bank

On Monday, September 28, 2026, the 1088th day of the 'War of Revival' or 'Iron Swords War' against terrorist organizations, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported ongoing operations in the West Bank, Lebanon, and Gaza. In the West Bank, IDF forces conducted raids in multiple Palestinian towns including Qalandia, Tammun, Hebron, Al-Bireh, Al-Akraba, Kafr Aqab, Jaba, Biddu, Tuqu, Auarta, Al-Mazra'a al-Sharqiya, and Kafr Malik, leading to the arrest of several suspects. The IDF maintains control over a buffer zone in southern Lebanon and southwestern Syria, conducting strikes and operations in these areas as needed. In Gaza, a formal ceasefire is in effect, though the IDF controls a buffer zone encompassing over 60% of the territory. The IDF stated it attacks terrorists in response to violations of the ceasefire and conducts targeted assassinations. On Sunday, September 27, the IDF eliminated Adi Adli Abd al-Asar, a sniper in Hamas's military wing, in southern Gaza, citing his involvement in planning attacks and rebuilding the organization's capabilities. No IDF combat operations were reported in Lebanon or Syria overnight.
