Attached are the full remarks of LTG Halevi: "We are not returning to how things were beforehand. This means to push further, to reinforce this and to bring the residents back here, to Netu'a, and along the entire border line, to a different situation that is much more secure.
Our role as those in uniform is to prepare the first option, to be very well prepared for combat. And no matter what, the coming year will include a lot of work. Listen, I have always believed in the reservist array. I say, seeing the seriousness here on the ground, is very impressive, there is someone to rely on.
Keep going, be strong. Also, a very great effort, say this also to all the soldiers, it's good to take good care of the reservists, students, employees, self-employed. The State (of Israel) will invest resources here, we are working very hard on this. I know, people come first of all for the mission and the sense of duty, it is very noticeable and that's the most important. And we will ensure that the State (of Israel) properly gives back, because people are really making a sacrifice here that is worthy of appreciation. Good to see you."
