In his speech about the attack by Hamas, the Israeli president Isaac Herzog warned on Sunday that “the events of these days constitute part of an extended war. Such a war it doesn’t end in the blink of an eye. Our enemies are making significant psychological efforts, using cyber attacks and spreading fake videos and reports – all in an effort to instill fear and anxiety in our hearts.”

“There is one indisputable fact – once again, the state of Israel will prevail. We have no choice” explained Herzog anyway.

The Israeli president called for “maintaining the spirit of courage and unity among the people and preventing the spread of baseless videos and rumors that serve the psychological warfare of the enemy”. He stressed the importance of following Home Front Command directives.

“We must not be complacent – difficult days await us. It is time to unite against the enemy – to unite – and to act decisively like a fist,” Herzog emphasized.
