Galant wrote: “At the end of the assessment of the situation in the Northern Command, with the Chief of Staff (Herzi Halevy), the Commander of the Northern Command (Uri Gordin), and the Commander of the Air Force (Tomer Bar), I said that the IDF forces are prepared and continue to be prepared against every threat that comes to us, whether in defense or attack.” ".

He added: "The situation in the north will change with a political settlement or a large-scale military operation, and we have a duty to return citizens safely to their homes."
