Defense Minister Galant in the IDF's Operations Command: "In the last day we are demolishing what was built in Hezbollah for twenty years. Nasrallah remained alone at the top, entire units of the Radwan force were taken out and tens of thousands of rockets were destroyed"
"I want to express great appreciation to the IDF, the Air Force, the Operations Division, the Northern Command, the Home Front Command, the Intelligence Division - everyone who takes part in this complex operation, from the people who are here to those who are in the cockpits or elsewhere, the results are extremely impressive."
"We determined a few weeks ago the transfer of the center of gravity of the IDF in the campaign from the southern sector to the northern sector, and the goal is to safely return the residents of the north to their homes."
"The last week demonstrates well what I am talking about, in one week it can be said that Nasrallah remains alone at the top in many ways. Radwan's forces suffered the fatal blow of eliminating their entire top - the commanders of the sectors, the brigades, and the staff, led by Akil. We took out whole units of equipment within the various formations as a result of the activities that took place at the beginning of the week in which a great many terrorists were injured."
