Israel Defense Spokesperson: We Are Now Stabilizing Situation

EXCERPT:

HECHT: “We are now stabilizing the communities, there's still small pockets, and we've managed to gain control. It took us longer than we thought back in the communities ran the Gaza Strip. And the -- the gore and the carnage and the -- the inhumane activity in Hamas, in these settlements are starting to unfold because we're now speaking to the families, understand that they went through tragic, tragic events, tragic, tragic events. But we were managing to stabilize that. We are now focusing on organizing the area. We have deployed for divisions down to Gaza.”
