Israel will act as it sees fit against all emerging terrorist threats, said the Israeli defense minister.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz toured the Philadelphi Corridor, the narrow strip of land running along the Gaza-Egypt border, on Wednesday, vowing that the Israel Defense Forces will maintain security in the area going forward.
Katz was accompanied by IDF Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman, commander of IDF Southern Command, and Brig. Gen. Barak Hiram, commander of the Gaza Division.
“I came to visit inside Gaza to meet the commanders and the fighters who are doing an amazing job, showing bravery, resourcefulness and determination, as they see before their eyes the need to create the conditions for the release of the hostages and ensure the security of the State of Israel,” said Katz.
