Defense Minister Bnei Gantz participated today (Thursday) in the memorial service for IDF casualties whose burial place is unknown to the Ministry of Defense. Gantz said that even today the State of Israel continues to work to restore all the dead: “We do not stop, and we do not lose hope. Each of the spaces is preserved in our hearts and in our memory. ”
Regarding the IDF casualties in the hands of Hamas, Ganz said: “We do not stop working to bring home the late Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin, for whom I feel personally responsible, as the one who sent them into battle. Without that happening – Gaza will not be able to develop. Like them, like Hamas, as human animals, we will not avoid drugs and food, but we will not allow real and long-term development in the Gaza Strip until boys return to their borders. “And the entire political system, working with the help of Egypt, and other countries to return our soldiers from the Gaza Strip, and we will continue to turn every stone, in order to locate every fall, wherever it is.”
Referring to Nasrallah’s recent threats, Gantz said: “Even these days, and although Israel is the most powerful force in the Middle East, there are those who threaten us with war prices or ‘battle days.’ It will be difficult and terrible first and foremost for our enemies. This is especially true for Hezbollah and Hamas, which are working to build offensive capability out of a civilian population and thereby committing a war crime. In the face of this threat, the IDF is prepared for any force it may require. “If we have to go to battle days, Lebanon will tremble, and Hezbollah will be fatally wounded.”
