The Commander of the Northern Command, Major General Rafi Milo, spoke today (Tuesday) with local authority heads ahead of the Passover holiday evening.

Also, there is a discussion with the Misgav Am community. From the words of the Commander of the Northern Command, Major General Rafi Milo: “The responsibility and blame for the incident in Misgav Am are mine as Commander of the Northern Command and the one managing this campaign. Our role is to protect you, the residents, this is constantly before our eyes. Unfortunately, we also make mistakes and need to learn so that such incidents do not happen to us again. This is a defining event and we will correct and improve from it. The cooperation between the army and the settlement will continue for many years to come. We are experiencing a difficult morning where it was cleared for publication that a team commander and three soldiers from the Nahal Brigade were killed in an encounter, in addition to the wounded from the incident. I share the families’ sorrow and wish a speedy recovery to the wounded. The soldiers who fell yesterday fought to protect the North, to remove the threat, and to be a buffer between you, the civilians, and Hezbollah terrorists. There are significant achievements in the fighting, we will continue and increase the scope of fire and fighting to hit Hezbollah as much as possible. Our spirit is strong, we may have more difficult incidents ahead, we will investigate them, learn from them, and look forward. We are fighting for our freedom and are doing so in practice and in deeds. I want to wish you, the heads of the authorities, and through you to all residents of the North, a happy holiday. We are operating and fighting so that you can celebrate peacefully in the rear while we are at the front. On this occasion, I want to say that I am proud of you and your leadership. Every discussion with you gives us strength and explains why we are here.”
