Israel - December 08, 2024 [Note: video contains Hebrew language] Today (Sunday), the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi, met the recruits of the Golani Brigade at the Tel HaShomer Enlistment Center. The following are the full remarks of the Chief of the General Staff: "Since last night, we have been engaged in combat on four fronts. Ground troops are engaged in combat on four fronts: against terrorism in Judea and Samaria, in Gaza, in Lebanon, and last night we deployed troops into Syrian territory. We have excellent ground troops working together, infantry, armor, engineering, and artillery, and they are cooperating with other branches of the IDF: air, sea, and intelligence. This enables the IDF, even after a challenging year and following the very difficult day on Simchat Torah last year, to move forward with strength and defend the country effectively. In just a moment, this responsibility will become yours. You are about to put on your uniforms and take the baton with tremendous responsibility. Learn to stand together in unity, because that’s the resilience of the State of Israel, being there for one another."
