“Hamas chose the war, we did not choose this war,” Kohen, who heads the 162nd Division of the Israeli army, said on the border with the Gaza Strip. According to him, five days ago she received “the important task of definitively destroying Hamas”.
In the past five days, according to Cohen, Israeli troops “destroyed many of Hamas’s capabilities, attacked its strategic facilities and destroyed its explosives stockpiles, underground tunnels and other facilities.” According to the commander, the current conflict is a war for the existence of the Israeli state and the fight will continue. However, according to the commander, Israel will win.
Israeli Defense Minister Joav Galant said on Wednesday that the Israeli military had made “significant progress” in a ground operation in the Gaza Strip, hitting “terrorists at all levels, from fighters in the field to high-ranking (Hamas officials).”
Referring to the killed Israeli soldiers, the minister noted: “We pay for it on our side, but that happens in all conflicts.” He also said that there is very good cooperation between the ground forces and the air force in the Israel Defense Forces.
