‘The IDF needs 1-2 more weeks’

The IDF needs 1-2 more weeks to finish its work in Gaza, a senior military official tells Channel 2. The comments comes as international efforts to broker a ceasefire intensify.

On Sunday, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon promised that most of the tunnels used by Hamas would be “destroyed in the next two or three days.”
