Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says that when Israel returns to fighting Hamas in Gaza, its “strength will be greater, and it will take place throughout the entire Strip,” according to remarks provided by his office.
Speaking to troops of the Givati Infantry Brigade and of the Armored Corps, Gallant says: “You now have a few days, we will return to fighting, we will use the same amount of power and more.”
“Remember that while you are organizing and resting and investigating, the enemy is also doing the same,” he says.
“You will meet something that is a little more ready. Therefore, [Hamas] will meet first the bombs of the Air Force, and after that the shells of the tanks and the artillery and the scoops of the D9 [bulldozers], and finally also gunfire of the infantry troops,” Gallant says.
“We will fight in the entire Strip,” he adds.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
