Gaza War, Israeli troops arrived at the gates of Gaza city. Word from Brigadier General Itzik Cohen. “We are at the gates of the city of Gaza.” This was said by Brigadier General Itzik Cohen, commander of the 162nd division of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), quoted by the Times of Israel while speaking to journalists near the Gaza Strip. “It was Hamas that chose this war, not us”, stressed the soldier, explaining that his division “was given an important mission, to go and end it with Hamas”.
In the last five days, he noted, “we have destroyed a large part of Hamas’ capabilities, attacked its strategic structures, its range of explosives and its underground tunnels.” “It will be a long task,” but this “is a war for Israel’s existence” and “we will win it,” he concluded.
