According to information in the Israeli press, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who visited an airbase near the city of Haifa in northern Israel, made important statements regarding the operations.
Gallant stated, "The center of gravity is shifting to the north. We are moving our forces, resources, and energy to the north."
"I believe we are at the beginning of a new phase in the war," Gallant said, adding, "We must adapt. We must show consistency over time. This war requires great courage, determination, and persistence."
Gallant argued that the goal of Israel's attack in the north is for evacuated Israeli citizens to return to their homes in safety. He also stated that they have not forgotten the Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip.
