Israel’s military chief of staff Lt Gen Eyal Zamir said that the army “will use all the strength at our disposal, increase the pace of operations, and intensify their power,” against Hamas in Gaza. “Hamas terrorists still hold fifty-nine of our brothers and sisters. But they too know, their safety is not forever!” Lt Gen Zamir said in a speech on Thursday. “The IDF is ready and prepared to strike them a decisive blow. We will use all the strength at our disposal, increase the pace of operations, and intensify their power,” he said.
