IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says Israel “will not remain silent” over Hamas’s violations of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
“Hamas committed to returning the remaining deceased hostages, but it is violating its commitment. We saw that last night as well. We know well the nature of this organization, an organization built on terror, on deception and on treachery,” Zamir says during a ceremony for outstanding civilian employees of the IDF.
“We will not remain silent about this; we will continue to act to return all our hostages for burial; this is our moral and ethical duty,” he says.
“If Hamas does not fulfill its commitments, it will bear responsibility and will pay a heavy price. Many challenges still await us. The war is not yet over,” Zamir adds.
