IDF Spokesperson's Statement | January 2

Good evening,
The IDF is in a very high state of readiness in all arenas, in defense and offense. We are highly prepared for any scenario. The most important thing to say tonight is that we are focused and remain focused on fighting Hamas.
In Gaza, our forces are continuing to fight, especially in the Khan Yunis area. We are operating above and below ground, eliminating terrorists and continuing to destroy terrorist infrastructure.
Last night in the north, we targeted Syrian military infrastructure in Syrian territory, in response to fire launched at our territory. We will continue to respond to any attacks against our territory.
On the home front, I urge the public to continue acting responsibly and professionally as you have been, and to follow the instructions of the Home Front Command. These are updated on the website, and we will ensure that the public is informed of the guidelines - keep checking the websites, we will update as necessary. These instructions save lives.
This evening too, we do not forget even for a moment that one of the war's objectives is creating conditions for the return of the hostages. This is a top national mission, always in front of every soldier and commander, and we will continue to do everything to make this happen.
