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.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
