Herzi Halevi Tours Gaza, Meets With Troops

By Hamodia Staff

Chief of the General Staff LTG Herzi Halevi toured Gaza Sunday and held a discussion with the reservists, updating them on the progress made by the IDF.

“We are looking at this operational pause, up until which in northern Gaza we dismantled two Hamas brigades, although not yet completely,” Halevi said to troops in Gaza. “The 162nd Division is still working inside to secure our accomplishments and to strike more battalions.

“Yesterday, and today, we eliminated brigade commanders, company commanders, many operatives, and yesterday morning we started the same process in the southern Gaza Strip, it will be with no less strength than that, it will be with no less results than that, and Hamas commanders will meet the IDF everywhere in a very, very strong way.

“I know that part of this is your capabilities, and a very large part of this is the fighting spirit that you bring and also the experience you bring as reservists.

“And we have the capabilities to do this in the most thorough way, and just as we did it strongly and thoroughly in the northern Gaza Strip, we are also doing it now in the southern Gaza Strip and we continue to secure our accomplishments in the northern Gaza Strip.”
