Gallant says troops along northern border will ‘very soon go into action’
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant tells reservists along the Gaza border that their comrades along the northern border will be going into action soon.
Gallant tells troops near the border with Gaza that, while they battle Hamas in the Strip, others are being deployed to the border with Lebanon.
“They will very soon go into action… so the forces in the north are reinforced,” Gallant says. He adds that reservists will be gradually released “to prepare and come ready” for future operations.
