IDF chief says army working ‘around the clock’ to thwart Gaza attacks

IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot says the army is working “around the clock” to fend off attacks and protect Israeli citizens.

“The events of the past few weeks in the north and the south demonstrate how volatile things are. The IDF works around the clock with a power that is known to our enemies,” he says.

“We will continue to strike those who wish us harm and will bring back security to the residents of the south, as it is in other part of the country. I am convinced that we will achieve this quickly, with wisdom and determination,” Eisenkot says.

The army chief makes his remarks at a graduation ceremony for new IDF officers.
