Halevy’s remarks came after a meeting to assess the situation and approve future offensive plans.
Halevi did not elaborate on any major achievements or future plans regarding the operation, which has been going on for 5 days.
Halevy said the continued rocket fire from the Jihad movement “allows us to continue operations targeting leaders and raids in a precise and increasing manner, as we have been doing in recent days.”
“We are ready to continue countermeasures and precisely targeted attacks,” he added.
The Israeli army has launched a military operation against the Islamic Jihad movement in Gaza, dubbed “The Defensive Arrow”, since dawn last Tuesday.
The operation led to the assassination of 6 leaders of the “Quds Brigades”, the military wing of the Jihad movement, and the Israeli army said it attacked more than 300 targets of the movement.
However, the Israeli bombings claimed the lives of many civilians, including 3 women and 6 children.
Tel Aviv says the Islamic Jihad movement has fired more than 1,234 rockets into Israel since the operation began.

For their part, the Al-Quds Brigades announced that they would continue to fire rockets, as the confrontation entered its fifth day.
She said: “The resistance has prepared for months of confrontation, and we have a long spirit and a lot of loyal popular support.
