"The Finance Ministry and the Tax Authority are fully mobilized for the campaign 24 hours a day. The State of Israel will do everything to rehabilitate the Israeli envelope and make it glorious and renew its old days, all alongside uncompromising fighting against Hamas and eliminating any organizational infrastructure of terror in Gaza."
It should be emphasized that the grant does not constitute payment of compensation due to the damage caused to the property of the residents of the envelope and will not be deducted from the amount of compensation.
