In his first public statement since the tensions between Israel and Hamas groups in the Gaza Strip began, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi acknowledges failures that enabled Hamas’s infiltration and mass murders on Saturday, APA reports citing The Times of Israel.
“The IDF is responsible for the security of the country and its citizens, and on Saturday morning in the area surrounding the Gaza Strip, we did not handle it. We will learn, we will investigate, but now is the time for war,” Halevi says from southern Israel.
He also says Israel will do everything it can to return the hostages taken by Hamas and other groups.
