Here’s a little more from the Israeli defence minister’s visit to the troops gathered on the Gaza border.
Speaking of the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October, he said: “There is no forgiveness for this thing. Only total annihilation of Hamas organisation – terror infrastructures, everything that has to do with terrorists and whoever sent them.
“It will take a week, it will take a month, it will take two months, until we eliminate them. You are not alone in battle,” he told infantry troops, who are awaiting the start of an expected ground operation in the enclave.
“We trust you and count on you. Carry on training while there is time,” he said.
