Major General Gershon HaCohen was the commander of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He commented on the continuation of the fighting in the north and the possibility of a settlement with Hezbollah.
"The fact that tens of thousands are not at home and probably won't celebrate Passover at home either, is very embarrassing," he said. Cohen also referred to the IDF's activity in Gaza, the possible of a military operation in Rafah and the "day after" in the Gaza Strip.
