IDF: The Chief of Staff during a situation assessment at Northern Command: "The IDF operates offensively, with initiative and operational superiority in all arenas and at all times. We surprise, initiate, and reach every target to ensure the security of Israeli citizens.In the Gaza Strip, we struck one of Hamas's senior leaders, Abu Ubaida, yesterday. Our hand is still outstretched - most of Hamas's leadership is based abroad, and we will reach them too."
