Herzi Halevi, Israel’s military chief of staff, has declared that the onslough in Gaza is set to drag on, with no clear end in sight.
Speaking at a ceremony for wounded soldiers at Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv, Halevi described what international human rights organisations have called a genocide as “a long war” and emphasised that its conclusion is not foreseeable.
Despite the ongoing toll, Halevi claimed that the Israeli forces have achieved victories, including the defeat of Hamas' military wing and the complete rout of Hezbollah.
