The full remarks of the Chief of the General Staff: “Look, we are here for several reasons. First, this is the last brigade that remains with full capabilities, and therefore we want to dismantle the Rafah Brigade.
But we will deepen the achievement, and we will bring Hamas to very low points. This requires a lot of professionalism, a lot of determination, a lot of values, knowing that completely dismantling Hamas is a national mission of the State of Israel.
I am very, very impressed, leaving here with the feeling that there is very professional work being done, very high quality work. There is learning here, which is very, very important. You are advancing, there are very great achievements.”
