The IDF Kfir Brigade commander addressed his men before entering Rafah: “For the second time in a year, it is my greatest merit to lead you into battle and to fight together. On this day 80 years ago, the Nazis led Jews to the ovens for the sole crime of being Jewish. Today, at the end of Holocaust Memorial Day, we, the IDF, are going on the offensive to attack and to win. Never again is NOW in our hands, for our people who need us and for our brothers and sisters, the hostages who are beginning to hear again that THE IDF IS ARRIVING. For the State of Israel, with determination and courage, without compromise, I believe in and am proud of every one of you. We are writing history today, Am Israel Chai! We don’t have any other country. All stations, this is the Commander, onwards and after me until the end, until victory, until we win. ON MY COMMAND, GO!
