We are talking about the rest and re-equipment of the troops. This is not necessarily an indication of impending surgery, Kirby said.
The withdrawal of the Israeli military from the southern Gaza Strip is for the re-equipment of personnel, as well as for rest, and does not necessarily indicate any new operations. White House National Security Coordinator John Kirby said on ABC television.
“They (Israeli troops – ed.) have been in battle for four months, and we are receiving a message that they are tired, that they need to be re-equipped,” he said.
Kirby noted that “it’s hard to say exactly what’s going on there right now.”
“As far as we understand and judge by their public statements, it is really about the rest and re-equipment of the troops … This does not necessarily indicate a future new operation of these troops,” added the White House national security coordinator.
We remind you that the Israel Defense Forces have ceased active ground offensives and are withdrawing from the southern Gaza Strip. Only one army brigade remains on the ground, tasked with securing the corridor linking southern Israel to the Gaza Strip.
