The full words of the Chief of Staff are attached: “Look, we are here for a few reasons. One, it is the last brigade that remains with full capabilities, so we want to dismantle the Rafah brigade.
But we will deepen the achievement and we will bring Hamas to very low places; this requires a lot of professionalism, it requires a lot of determination, it requires a lot of values, to know that completely dismantling Hamas is a national task of the State of Israel.
I am very, very impressed, I leave here with a feeling that there is a very, very professional action here, high quality; there is learning here, which is a very, very important thing. You are advancing, there are very high achievements here.”
