IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says Israel is applying military pressure on Hamas in different ways across the Gaza Strip, and that it is not “treading water.”
“We are applying military pressure in various forms. What is being done in Rafah is different from what you are doing here,” he says to officers of the 99th Division in Gaza City yesterday, amid a new operation there.
“What you are doing here is different from what is happening right now in Shejaiya, or the mission of the [Netzarim] corridor or the security area along the border,” Halevi says.
“The common denominator between the different places… is determination,” he says.
“There is no treading water or being at a standstill. You are bringing about important achievements every day,” Halevi tells the officers.
“We are planning ahead… looking for opportunities [to target] senior officials, infrastructure, and operatives, and we do it with all kinds of methods,” he adds.
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.
