Visiting the border with southern Gaza, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant indicates that Israel is still in full fighting mode in Khan Younis, while ensuring access to humanitarian aid for civilians.

“There are a great many troops inside, west of here, operating within Khan Younis is a very very impressive way, above ground and below,” he says, while visiting an area across from the southeastern Gaza town of Khuza’a, on the outskirts of Khan Younis.

He says that there is no more justified war than the one being waged by Israel against Hamas and no more moral army than the IDF, in apparent reaction to charges made against Israel at the Hague.

The army “still differentiates each day between those who are involved and need to be eliminated and those who are uninvolved, for whom we provide access to humanitarian aid, medicine, food, water, to separate between the civilian population and murderous lowlife terrorists who we will hunt until they are finished off.”
