IDF chief praises Shifa op in visit to troops, vows it will continue until mission completed

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi hails the military’s ongoing operation at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, during a visit to the medical center on Friday.

“Almost two weeks, very, very successful, and this is an operation… to plan it in a war, to carry it out in a war, to execute it correctly in a war, [is] very, very complex,” Halevi says to troops.

“So far, very great achievements… no one can roll back such a large amount of arrested terrorists, such a large amount of dead terrorists, so many senior people,” he says.

Halevi says the operation has “achieved its goal,” but adds that it will continue “thoroughly until it is announced that we are done.”
