IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi held an assessment in southern Gaza’s Rafah today, saying that dismantling Hamas’s battalions there is a top priority for the country.
“We are here for several reasons. Firstly, this is the last [Hamas] Brigade left with full capabilities, so we want to dismantle the Rafah Brigade,” Halevi says.
He says that dismantling Hamas’s battalions is a “national mission of the State of Israel.”
