Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant declared that 60 percent of Hamas fighters had been “eliminated or wounded” in the ongoing Gaza conflict since the group’s October 7 attacks. Gallant expressed determination to eradicate Hamas and bring all hostages home from Gaza, commending Israeli soldiers for their dedication and success.
Recent offensives in Gaza City and surrounding areas have targeted Hamas militants, with significant progress made in dismantling their infrastructure and battalions. Despite the casualties on both sides, Israel remains focused on its objectives.
Israeli Prime Minister’s office reported the elimination of “14,000 terrorists” since the start of the war. With a strategy focused on applying pressure and destroying Hamas capabilities, Israel is committed to achieving its goals.
While facing criticism for the devastation in Gaza, Israel reaffirms its resolve to return all hostages and complete its mission. The conflict has resulted in significant loss of life, but Israel remains steadfast in its pursuit of peace and security.
