'We will only allow the bare minimum amount of humanitarian aid into Gaza. We will not let Hamas use this aid.

We will make sure that this humanitarian aid is no more than the food required to survive. Our objectives in Gideon's Chariots will be achieved, Hamas will be destroyed.'

Hebrew media reports indicate that the operation was a failure, as the IDF did not locate or release any prisoners and were unsuccessful in interrogating Ahmad Sarhan, a member of the Popular Resistance Committees. Instead, they killed him and kidnapped his wife and children.
