IDF forces continue fighting in the Gaza Strip, and it has now been released for publication that a Golani Brigade combat team eliminated seven terrorists within ten minutes. This was done thanks to Amanim, IDF intelligence teams working on the ground with forces in the field. Dozens of such teams are now operating for the first time, providing intelligence for maneuvering forces in Gaza.

The Defense and Maneuver Center is the intelligence branch responsible for producing, researching, and providing accessible tactical information to soldiers in the field in order to improve their operational effectiveness in defense and on the offense and leading to quick loop closure combined with precise intelligence and lethal fire. In routine times, the center works to build up forces for emergencies, and is now supporting the IDF maneuver effort.

Every maneuvering division and combat team has an array behind it known as an Adan (IDF Intelligence Unit for Deployed Ranks) whose aim is to collate and exhaust existing intelligence gathering and research sources in the IDF Intelligence Branch and with complete cooperation with the Israeli intelligence community as a whole and make it all accessible to forces in the field. The operational need goes up from the division and the brigade to the Adan, where a complete collection response is provided. In one array, there are wireless device handlers, web intelligence officers, decoders, and researchers, whose purpose is to protect our forces and destroy activists of the Hamas terror organizations.
