IDF: The Chief of the General Staff: “We have begun this operation because the time has come, we are at the point of no return. We cannot afford to wait for another time to operate, we have no other choice. Recent and past events of history have taught us that when the enemy is attempting to destroy us, we must not turn a blind eye. We need to fight for our existence, freedom was given to those willing to fight for it.”

“I warn that anyone who will try to challenge us, will pay a heavy price. We are entering this operation together with one goal in front of us – to secure a safer future for the State of Israel and its civilians, in unified effort and faith, we will win”.
