The "ground shook in Gaza last night," Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Saturday as he warned the IDF "entered a new stage in the conflict...the operation will continue until new orders are given."
The defense minister held an operational situation assessment with senior defense establishment officials. The discussion was centered on military operations, the hostage situation, and humanitarian concerns.
“I completed a situation assessment. Last night we accomplished [completed] a phase in the war. We will continue to be strong and precise. And hunt down every terrorist.”
Gallant directed the officials to continue strikes in Gaza targeting Hamas terrorist positions.
