Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant on Wednesday visited one of the Intelligence Directorate bases to which IDF and Shin Bet forces bring articles seized in the Gaza Strip.

"I completed a visit at the IDF's Intelligence Directorate, which is directed and aimed to assist the forces on the ground. What I saw was impressive in an irregular manner. Every soldier, every force that moves through Gaza receives complete intelligence support, which goes from all the intelligence systems to the company commander, the intelligence officer, and sometimes to the soldier, and tells him how he could protect himself, where the enemy is, and the result is especially deadly," Gallant stated.

He added that "the soldiers know where to go and what to do, the enemy is in great distress as a result of the deadly fighting assisted by the IDF Intelligence Directorate together with the Shin Bet."

According to Gallant, intelligence work is especially important during the ceasefire to return the hostages. "As a result of the Intelligence Directorate and Shin Bet's high-quality, precise, and professional work, during the coming days as well the forces in the field will have complete intelligence support from all the sources, which will allow them to work safely."
