IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi in a video statement says that to defeat Hamas and return the hostages the terror group is holding, Israel must carry out a major ground offensive in the Gaza Strip, APA reports citing The Times of Israel.
“Three weeks have passed since the start of the war. This war has stages, and today we moved into a new phase,” Halevi says, referring to ongoing, expanded ground operations in Gaza.
“The objectives of the war require ground entry. There are no achievements without risks, and there is no victory without prices being paid,” he added.
