According to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the army is believed to have killed about half of all Hamas battalion commanders in the Gaza war.
He announced this at a press conference on Tuesday evening. The Israeli military believes the terrorist organization has a total of 24 of these military branches, each with about 1,000 members. The information could not be independently verified.
“We will not forget and we will not forgive,” Netanyahu continued. There will no longer be one battalion that could pose a threat to Israel, Defense Minister Joav Galant said at the news conference. Hamas is gradually losing control of the Gaza Strip. The terrorist organization now understands that no one will save them, neither the Iranians nor the Lebanese Hezbollah.
Criticism of Israel is growing
The Gaza War was sparked by the October 7 massacre by terrorists from Hamas and other extremist groups in Israel. Given the suffering of the civilian population in the Gaza Strip, international criticism of the actions of the Israeli army is growing.
Netanyahu criticized human rights organizations and the UN for not speaking out about Hamas’ sexual crimes against women. During a meeting with released hostages and their relatives, he heard about gruesome rape cases.
Brutal sexual violence in Hamas massacres
Emergency services and eyewitnesses also reported brutal sexual violence against women and girls during the Hamas massacre on October 7. Some women were subsequently killed and others were taken to the Gaza Strip. In light of these reports, many people in Israel are also concerned about the fate of the women still detained in the Gaza Strip.
UN Women recently spoke out after massive criticism over reports of gender-based atrocities and sexual violence during the attacks. They are very concerned about this, says a post on the X platform.
