Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel has achieved colossal victories that have shocked the world wherever it has fought.
“By joining forces, we have achieved colossal victories. Victory that has shocked the world. Wherever we have fought, we have won“, Netanyahu said in a video address to the nation broadcast on Israel's main television channels.
“This is an exciting evening. An evening of tears, an evening of joy. Because tomorrow the sons will return to the border. This is a historic event that was incredible. But our fighters believed. Many people believe. And I believed it," Netanyahu said.
However, he warned that "there are still very big security challenges. Some of our enemies are trying to recover to attack us again. And as we say - “We are for it“".
There are also big opportunities. I am convinced that we will overcome the challenges and realize the opportunities.
The Israeli prime minister thanked the soldiers, the commanders of the military forces, the security forces, the families of the victims who lost children and relatives, and the citizens of Israel.
"Together we will continue to strengthen our country, together we will continue to win, and with God's help - together we will guarantee the eternity of Israel," Netanyahu concluded.
