New Target Detection Capabilities Ease Advance of IDF Ground Forces
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - In recent days, a Hamas anti-tank missile squad prepared to launch a Kornet missile from its hiding place at an IDF ground force. An IDF Intelligence Corps sensor detected the Hamas cell at a crucial moment. Within six minutes, additional intelligence resources locked in on the terrorist cell and a nearby fighter jet was tasked with the mission. Armed with precise coordinates, the jet launched a missile that accurately hit and eliminated the target. The Military Intelligence Target Directorate, created four years ago, entered the recent conflict with several thousand identified targets in Gaza. Since then, the directorate has tripled its list, striking over 12,000 targets and producing 150 new targets per day. The efforts of the Target Directorate allowed ground forces to advance toward their objectives with minimal resistance thanks to swift detection and aerial bombardment of Hamas positions and the effective targeting of booby-trapped sites and firing posts.
