IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar held an assessment in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis today, as the military presses on with the ground offensive against Hamas.

In a video published by the IDF, Halevi says: “We are deepening the achievement in the north of the Gaza Strip, in the south and beneath the ground,” referring to Hamas’s tunnel network in the Strip.

Bar says he is “happy to meet here in the streets of Khan Younis both [Shin Bet] coordinators and our troops who work with you.”

“No force can stand against this combination,” he adds.

Halevi and Bar held an assessment with the head of the IDF Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman, the commander of the 98th Division, Brig. Gen. Dan Goldfus, and commander of the Commando Brigade, Col. Omer Cohen.
