Complete remarks of the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halev

‎״There is big pressure here. I think that the surrendering, the people coming out and raising their hands, is also a break in their spirit. It accelerates our accomplishments, in the end, we want to progress quickly. We are securing our accomplishments in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, the entrance in the southern part of the Strip, and also deep down into the ground - all of these places, all of these intensifications, are very important for our accomplishments. The main operating method is the combination of the Infantry, Armored and the Combat Engineering forces together here on the ground, your connection to intelligence, ISA and Military Intelligence, and indeed physical presence here. I encounter this with every force and it’s very very important, all the time to try the intelligence that there is for brigade commanders to translate this as best as possible into action, and of course the connection to the IAF which is very significant. I say here to the whole forum, pass this also to your people, for each of you to bring this back home, to his place: the pace of the entrance and the course of the entrance is very impressive, also speaking in historical terms, with a defensive apparatus system that was ready and waiting, your presence here inside an urban, complex area is very very impressive, and now to dismantle, dismantle, dismantle. Happy Hanukkah."
