IDF commander to Israeli soldiers: "No other outcome than victory.”

Commanding Officer of the Southern Command, MG Yaron Finkelman, to IDF soldiers on ground operations in Gaza:
“Southern Command forces this is the Commander. We are striking Hamas and the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip. We have one goal - victory. No matter how long or how hard the fighting will be, there is no other outcome than victory.”
(People of Israel) Like me, they trust you and believe in you, you are the generation of victory”.
Hamas is a designated terrorist group backed by Iran and that has governed the Gaza Strip since 2007.
Hamas began firing thousands of rockets on Saturday morning, striking targets as far away as Tel Aviv and the outskirts of Jerusalem, which rarely see any direct hits because of Israel's sophisticated Iron Dome missile defense system.
