Israel’s war with Gaza is likely to last for monthsThis was stated by the country’s military leader Herzi Halevi.
“The war will last many months and we will use different methods to maintain our gains for a long time,” Halevi told reporters in a televised statement on the Gaza border.

“Ultimately, can we say that there are no enemies left around the State of Israel? I think this is too ambitious, but we will create a new security situation,” Halevi said.
International pressure
“We continue the war and intensify hostilities in the south of the Gaza Strip and elsewhere. We will fight to the end, with the help of the most advanced technologies,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after visiting the intelligence headquarters in Kirya, Tel Aviv.
