The chief of the IDF Southern Command Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman while visiting troops in southern Gaza’s Rafah this week, says the military will not stop until its objectives are achieved in the Strip.

“The plan is clear going forward. With the quality of the forces and the quality of the commanders here, we continue to move forward until we achieve our goals,” Finkelman says in a video released by the army, from the general’s visit to Rafah on Wednesday.

Finkelman held an assessment with the commander of the 162nd Division, Brig. Gen. Itzik Cohen, and the commanders of the brigades operating in the city in the southern Gaza Strip, the IDF adds.
