Brigadier General Dan Goldfuss, commander of the 98th Division, spoke with his fighters as the paratroopers departed the Gaza Strip - after 3 months of fighting in Khan Yunis.
""Paratrooper Brigade, be proud of the many achievements you have achieved, you have won everything, I am proud of you, you are great fighters," he said. "We have not yet finished the war and our duty, we continue to dismantle Hamas, destroy its systems above and below ground, strike at it and defeat it.
""But the mission is not over, and we must bring all the kidnapped people home, alive and dead, whether indirectly or directly. We must kill or capture the arch-terrorists who are still like rats in their burrows in Khan Yunis.".

""We will continue to work hard, with tenacity and determination in order to meet the mission and prepare for the continuation of the missions north or south, and we will come precise and ready. To our enemy, I say - we have patience and determination and we will reach wherever you hide. You have nowhere to run.".
He added: "To all those at home who want to know about our operation in Khan Yunis - every day we fight, every day we deepen the achievement, every day we make sure that a day like October 7th will not be repeated. Every day, fighters from various brigades go out on missions with determination, fortitude and unparalleled determination, going out to fight and uproot evil. These are the fighters, this is the generation.".
""This is our time to stand guard and not give in, not to give in to any pressure. To be faithful to the path of warriors and to win. As Ben-Gurion said - if this terrible war was forced upon us, we deserve to win it.".
