I am in Mitzpe Ramon, after visiting the Ramon Air Force Base, where I thanked the Air Force Commander, the wonderful air and ground crews for the great work they did in the operation with my dogs.

We continue to fight, primarily in the Gaza Strip. Sadly, we have fallen soldiers and also wounded.

I send condolences to the families and wish the wounded a speedy recovery. But let it be clear, we will achieve our goal.

We will eliminate Hamas.

To complete this objective—both eliminating Hamas and freeing our hostages— we are advancing in combat and raising the scientist's journey.

Whichever path we choose, we must continue allowing minimal humanitarian supplies to enter. We've done so until now, but the UN is creating a breach and a lie about the State of Israel.

It says, "They won't let me in with humanitarian aid." Yes, we do. There are secure routes, there always have been. But today it's official: no more excuses.

We will continue to fight and to act until we achieve all our war objectives, until absolute victory.
