I am here with the defense minister, the chief of staff,

the regional command general, the division commander and our reserve soldiers.

There is wonderful spirit here, a willingness to fight, and they are fighting well.

And the war continues,

including inside the security zone in Lebanon, where I was just an hour ago.

What we are seeing is that we have thwarted the threat of invasion from Lebanon

thanks to this security zone.

The danger of… we are pushing back the danger of anti- tank fire,

and we are also dealing with the rocket fire.

But there is still work to be done. We have done tremendous work,

tremendous achievements,

there is still more to do and we are doing it.

One of the things we are seeing here is that we have

essentially changed the face of the Middle East.

Our enemies, Iran and the axis of evil, they came to destroy us,

and now they are fighting simply for their survival. We see this

in every single arena. This is a tremendous achievement for the State of Israel,

the Israel Defense Forces,

the regular soldiers and our wonderful reservists. Thank you, guys.

The people of Israel salute you. Thank you.— Thank you very much.

Thank you. And to you too.
