IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy held an assessment today (Sunday) in Khirbet Akhza'a, near Khan Yunis, together with the commander of the Gaza Division, Brigadier General Avi Rosenfeld, and the commander of the 5th Brigade, Col. Tal Kuritzky. In light of the publication in Israel Hayom about redefining the open-fire regulations in the Gaza Strip, the chief of staff also addressed the merits of this matter.
"Every move you make you will receive the strongest possible fire support, plan it with the capabilities you have, always go strong forward, with a ruse integrated into the battle and wiselyapply the rules of engagement. The open-fire regulations do not tie hands to anyone, the open-fire regulations came to protect us from ourselves as well, and to work correctly so that we will be very effective in harming the enemy, and very, very controlled in harming ourselves, and we have such complexities. You will convey great appreciation to all the people, from October 7th a reserve brigade, constantly full mouth, missions, transition between sectors, worthy of all appreciation and you will complete this mission strong and good," Halevy said.

He added: "Khirbet Akhza'a also held terror here for many years, and launched the attack from here to Nir Oz. And we also kill the terrorists who participated and also kill the terrorists who want to carry out terror in the future. And we're organizing a security zone here so that the return to Nir Oz will be safe, and will be safe for many years, and that's how we have to work."
