Israel Continues Operations in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Judea and Samaria

On November 10, 2026, the 1131st day of the "War of Revival" (also known as the "Swords of Iron War") saw ongoing Israeli military operations across multiple fronts. The IDF maintained control over a buffer zone in southern Lebanon and southwestern Syria, conducting strikes and operations within these territories. In Gaza, a ceasefire was formally in effect, but the IDF controlled over 60% of the strip as a buffer zone, responding to violations with attacks on terrorists and targeted assassinations. Operations also continued in Palestinian towns in Judea and Samaria, with arrests of suspected terrorists, some of whom had previously been released from prison. Early morning operations on November 10 included IDF activity near Qalqilya and northeast of Ramallah, resulting in suspect detentions, and in western Nablus, where individuals suspected of terrorist activities were apprehended.

The conflict, which began on October 7, 2023, with a Hamas-led attack from Gaza, involved widespread violence, including rocket barrages, border breaches, and hostage-taking. The initial attack resulted in over a thousand civilian deaths and hundreds of military and police casualties, with 251 individuals taken captive to Gaza. While 168 hostages were eventually released, with the last returning in October 2025, and the remains of the final captive returned in January 2026, over 80 hostages were killed or died in captivity. The war escalated with Hezbollah's involvement and has since seen extensive Israeli military actions, including significant strikes in Gaza and Lebanon, and operations in Syria and against Houthi targets in Yemen. The conflict has also involved major escalations with Iran, including a large-scale Iranian missile and drone attack on Israel in April 2024 and subsequent Israeli strikes on Iranian targets. The article details numerous phases and operations, including "Arrows of the North" in Lebanon and "Chariots of Gideon" in Gaza, with various ceasefire agreements and subsequent resumptions of hostilities throughout 2025 and into 2026. The conflict has resulted in substantial casualties on all sides, with Hamas claiming over 73,000 deaths in Gaza and Lebanon reporting approximately 10,000 fatalities. The article also notes significant Israeli military losses, with around 970 soldiers killed since October 7, 2023.
