Defense Minister Yoav Gallant hails the IDF’s ongoing operation at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, saying it “surprised the terrorists.”
“Nobody expected us to do what we did. There was an assault on a location that half a year ago took us a month to reach; now we did it in a flash,” Gallant says to soldiers of the 414th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit.
He says the terror operatives still holed up at the hospital “are considering their future: surrender or death.”
