We’re proud of the army, Netanyahu says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDuring a visit to southern Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon and Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz address the cameras about the current situation in the Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu: We are prepared to do whatever is necessary in Gaza, and more, to protect the people of Israel. “We are proud of the army,” he says, and of the motivation of those who have taken the place of soldiers who have fallen.
Ya’alon: To our sorrow, soldiers and commanders have fallen…. We’ll continue to work in the coming days to counter this [Hamas] threat.
Gantz: The Southern Command and the rest of the army are making progress hour by hour. There are sometimes casualties. Every colleague of those who fell wants us to carry on.
