Brigadier-General Yehuda Fuchs is the newly-appointed Gaza Division commander and he recently met with border area community residents to brief them on today’s realities. The following Hebrew video of the town hall meeting with residents was obtained by Channel 1 News.

The senior commander explains that he feels there will be another military confrontation with Hamas and it will be more difficult than seen in the past.

He explained Hamas has been rebuilding itself in all aspects of warfare and for Hamas, preparing itself and tunnels for war is the highest priority, even more than quality of life.

Fuchs explains that in the near future, the alert they receive will be on their smart phones and they will have additional time, more than the current 15 seconds, and the alert will be more specific than in the past. The accuracy of the alerts will be within a kilometer of one’s location.
