Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant issued a stern warning on Thursday, asserting that Israeli forces are resolute and cannot be subdued. This declaration comes in the midst of escalating tensions between Israel and the United States over potential military actions in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
Gallant emphasized Israel's unwavering strength during a memorial ceremony, stating, 'The State of Israel cannot be subdued, not the IDF, not the defense establishment. We will stand strong, achieve our goals, and combat threats posed by Hamas and Hezbollah to ensure security.'
