Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi held a situational assessment on Saturday with troops in Khan Yunis and with Southern Command head Maj.-Gen. Yaron Finkelman, 98th Brigade Commanding Officer Brig.- Gen. Dan Goldfus, and Givati Brigade head Col. Liron Betito.
"Very impressive – the attack here – and also that you were able to conduct the operation safely," Halevi told the troops in Khan Yunis.
"There is more work to do"
Halevi's visit to Khan Yunis comes just days after the IDF demolished Yahya Sinwar's house in the same area.
Khan Yunis has been the focus of intense house-to-house fighting as the war has moved into its second phase.
Just two weeks ago Halevi held a meeting with Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) Chief Ronen Bar in the restive southern Gaza city.
