The last two strongholds of the Islamist Hamas in the northern part of the Gaza Strip are surrounded and on the verge of collapse, Israel’s defense minister said. The army and the secret service assume that “Hamas’ fighting spirit has been broken.”
Hamas command centers in Jabalia and Shejaiya districts are surrounded and on the verge of collapse. “The battalions that were considered invincible and have been preparing to fight us for years are about to be destroyed,” Defense Minister Joav Gallant said Monday evening.
Hundreds of Hamas activists have surrendered to Israeli forces in recent days, which “shows what is happening to the terrorist group,” the minister continued. According to media reports, there have been heavy fighting and dozens of casualties in the area surrounding the Jabalia refugee camp recently.
Apparently 7,000 terrorists have been killed so far
Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi said: “We are exerting great pressure. I think the fact that they surrender and come out with their hands up shows that their fighting spirit has been broken. This accelerates our success, because we want to make rapid progress.”
According to Israeli information, more and more Hamas fighters have recently surrendered. In addition, according to National Security Advisor Zachi Hanegbi, approximately 7,000 Hamas terrorists have been killed so far.
