Good afternoon Gentlemen,
I am sure that you have had a very busy past few days, and it is good to see that the rockets have finally stopped, at least for the time being.
Are you able to share with me any details on the IDF response to the rocket and other attacks from Gaza targeting the southern cities of Israel? I understand that an additional Armoured Brigade was sent to reinforce the 143rd Gaza Division. Now that a ceasefire has been negotiated will this brigade move back from Gaza?
What are the plans for the IDF for the coming weeks and to ensure Hamas and PIJ don’t start firing rockets again?
Grateful for any advice you can share.
regards
Brandon A. Wood
