Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi said today (Wednesday) that the terrorist tunnel from the Gaza Strip that the IDF uncovered yesterday was a significant asset of the enemy.

During a tour of the Corona Squadron at Rambam Hospital in Haifa, Kochavi referred to the security incidents that took place in the southern region and emphasized that the IDF is determined to address any threat.



"This week the truth is that significant things happened.

One of them is locating and exposing the very significant terrorist tunnel in the Gaza Strip.

"It is a clear example that the threats have not disappeared, that we have many challenges and in general the last 24 hours are 24 hours of operational activity in all sectors, which reminds us all that there are many challenges except the corona," said the chief of staff.



"As for the tunnel, it is a very significant tunnel. It was not only interrupted, but located very professionally. I do not want to go into technical details about the tunnel, but can say that it was a very significant asset of the enemy and we will continue to treat it and the underground threat by all methods. And by all the most advanced means, from technology to intelligence, "Kochavi added.

"This is a major goal for us, and in total quite a few tunnels have been exposed in recent years. We will continue with this trend."

Asked by reporters about reports of an attack that took place last night in Syria, Kochavi replied that "we operate in all sectors, 24 hours a day. The scope of our overt and covert activity is very large and we will continue to do so and continue to disrupt threats to the State of Israel and provide security."

He said, "We will not detail what should not be detailed."



The chief of staff was asked about the attempt to maintain a training routine, which includes recruiting reservists, and the fear that arises among soldiers and conscripts who claim that it endangers them by infection. He said, "Our vast majority - steels, ships, bases, units, companies - are fit, healthy and functional.

We went through the first wave like that, we went through the second wave.

"This is the best evidence that we are able to maintain a level of health and fitness in the IDF. There are places where the nature of the plague has spread more, and even there we have attacked them and extinguished them almost to the end in a very significant way."

In his remarks, Kochavi referred to the struggle of the Faith Unit over the struggle in Corona and praised its activities.

"The other significant thing is that Alon's headquarters, the headquarters for amputating adhesive chains set up two months ago, has reached the peak of its capabilities. We reach every verified patient today and we have minimized the time from referral to examination to its result," he said.

He added that "the scope of investigators has increased very significantly. This is the story of the IDF today.

With one hand, he fights enemies, with threats, with the other hand he fights the



corona.

"The

chief of staff called on the citizens to cooperate in the effort against the corona.

"The headquarters we set up to cut off test chains will not be effective, and the war in Corona will not be effective if there is no cooperation from the population. If there are no truth reports, full reports of contacts. If there are no isolations, if there are those who make their own laws. I read from here "Everyone, cooperate with the headquarters to cut chains, will report full reports of contacts even when it is unpleasant and I understand that. Whoever received an indication for isolation, will go into isolation and everyone will follow the instructions," said Kochavi.



He stressed, "If we do this - the numbers will go down, the numbers will remain low and the State of Israel will be able to continue to lead a normal life, even in the presence of the corona. I believe in it in full faith. We can beat it, but it requires the cooperation of the whole population."
