"We know that in the end we expect to reach more extensive action in which you will also take part, but we aren't running there and we'll reach it after everything else has been exhausted." Barak praised the Golani fighters for their recent successes in a series of clashes last month in the area. Some 40 terrorists were killed in the incidents. "The spirit that has entered the ranks of the IDF is that of seeking out and engaging the enemy, of assault of initiative to set out for the task, and willing in every grove and behind every building."
