IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz on Tuesday praised Egyptian efforts to control terror in Sinai and along its border with Gaza.
“Sinai, a lawless area that has become a bastion for terror, is being dealt with by elements that we did not necessarily expect just two years ago or less as having a genuine interest in operating there.”
“Surprisingly, the terror that has sprouted there is being challenged every day.”
“Gaza, which got its oxygen from the terror tunnels through Sinai, is dealing with doors now closed to it,” he said.
