Acting Brigadier General Amir Avivi said in the Friday studio that Rafah "is the Stalingrad of Hamas" Avivi is chairman of the "Habithonist" movement. Commentator Amnon Abramovich reprimanded him for the comparison.

News 12 journalist Zion Nanos mocked Avivi: "Don't you study history in the 'Securityists' movement?" Another tweeter added: "Does the guy understand that he compared the IDF to the Nazi Wehrmacht?"
