Visiting the IDF induction center to speak with soldiers enlisting into the Armored Corps, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel is winning “because we understand that in order to defeat our enemies, those who are closing in on us, we smash through them with crushing force on the ground,” he says.

“We are bringing tremendous crushing force,” he says, adding that Israel “will complete this victory as soon as possible.”

Netanyahu is joined by Defense Minister Israel Katz.
