Katz conveyed that the directive from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and himself to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and other security agencies is to continue pursuing and eliminating all remaining terrorists, "from the senior to the junior ranks." This objective is in parallel with the broader goals of dismantling Hamas and demilitarizing the Gaza Strip.
The Defense Minister emphasized that this pursuit is a national obligation towards the victims of the massacre and the fallen soldiers of the war. "This is the command of the murdered and the fallen, and it is our duty as a people and as a state, and we will fulfill it," Katz declared.
