Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Thursday took responsibility for the “difficult incidents” that occurred on October 7th in the Hamas assault of southern Israel. Speaking to the press at an IDF post near the Gazan border, Gallant said: “I’m responsible for the defense establishment. I was also responsible for the difficult incidents of the past two weeks and I’m responsible for bringing us to victory.” “The battle will be a long one – we will be precise and deadly – there will be a price but we will continue until we fully complete the mission.” (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
