The brigade completed its mission in the Gaza Strip last week.

The Commanding Officer of the 646th Brigade, COL Elad Shushan: "We reached every hideout above and below ground in the Gaza Strip, and today the terrorists know that there is no safe hiding place, and that their fate is sealed. It is our duty to embrace and support the bereaved families and the injured, and to accompany them forward. Dear soldiers, I am proud of you for the strength of spirit and resilience you have shown. I am sure that this is what our fallen would expect from us. We will continue with all our might. The mission is not yet complete, and I have no doubt that the brigade will stand ready whenever and wherever required."
