Israel Conducts Operations Across Multiple Fronts on War's 1090th Day

On the 1090th day of the "War of Revival" (Operation "Swords of Iron"), Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continued operations in Judea and Samaria, Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. In Judea and Samaria, IDF forces were active in Arab towns, with clashes reported in Jenin and clashes and arrests in Nablus and Tubas. The IDF maintains control over a buffer zone in southern Lebanon and southwestern Syria, conducting strikes and operations within these territories as needed. In Gaza, a ceasefire is formally in effect, though the IDF controls a buffer zone encompassing over 60% of the strip. The IDF stated it attacks terrorists in response to violations and conducts targeted assassinations.

Specific incidents on September 30, 2026, included Israeli artillery fire near Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah, and airstrikes on vehicles and targets in Gaza City and Beit Lahia. The Lebanese army reported an Israeli strike on a military vehicle in Nabatieh al-Fouka, injuring four, though the IDF did not comment. The IDF announced the completion of a seven-month mission by the Golani Brigade in southern Lebanon, during which over 900 Hezbollah infrastructure sites were destroyed and weapons caches discovered.

In Gaza, reports indicated casualties from strikes near Jabalia, Al-Bureij, and Zeitoun. The Nasser Hospital reported a woman wounded in Khan Yunis, allegedly by Israeli forces. The IDF also conducted operations in Shechem and Tamun, with reports of Palestinian casualties and arrests.
