The full statement of the Chief of the General Staff:
“The fighting is in a very, very complex area, it’s below ground, it’s above ground, and an enemy that prepared its defenses over a very long period of time in a very organized way. There is a population here, many houses – a very, very complex battlefield. When arriving to explode such a system as you have in recent days here along the Tancher Route, it’s a very complex mission. It must be said that we are conducting operations here that we have never carried out before. The moment something bad happens, and something very bad happened to us here, we lost quite a few people and had injuries. The only thing left for us as commanders is learning, learning, learning. This is a long battle, on many fronts, we have many challenges, I see the capabilities here, I know very well that we know how to deal with any problem in Gaza, there is no square kilometer in Gaza that you do not know how to enter and dismantle, there is no such thing, after what you did – there is no such thing. After what you did, there is no place in Lebanon, no thicket fortified area in Lebanon that you cannot enter and dismantle. We will put you where needed, and you will do there what needs to be done, a long war on the other side, we will come out with good results.”
