President Isaac Herzog visits the southern city of Sderot along the border and praises the “unimaginable heroism” of the people working at the scene following Hamas’s brutal onslaught.

“What we see here is the unimaginable heroism of a nation, a nation that has risen from an attack wrought on a holiday,” Herzog says in a visit to the city in which many people were killed.

“You can see here the volunteers, the soldiers, the police officers, the Hazalah medics, welfare officials, everyone is enlisting as one, together,” he adds. “I’m telling the entire people of Israel — we will win because of the incredible bravery of our people.”

The president says that rebuilding and rehabilitating the towns surrounding Gaza “will be a long process and it will be the supreme obligation of the State of Israel to take care of this area, to develop it, strengthen it… and give it absolute security.”
