Israel Defense Forces spokesman Admiral Daniel Hagari said on Wednesday that the attack on Gaza “strengthens” the IDF ahead of the “next phase of the war”.
Hazari said the Israeli army continued to attack “terrorist infrastructure” – above and below the ground – in Gaza on Wednesday and that Israeli forces would continue to strike to create “favorable conditions”.
Hazari said eliminating senior Hamas leaders was a top priority.
Hazari added that the war will continue for a long time and that Israel needs “patience and determination” to achieve its goals.
On October 7, Israel Bombarded Gaza in response to the barbaric attack by Hamas. The blasts destroyed entire neighborhoods, including schools and mosques, and devastated the already inadequate health care system
