Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said: “I see the successes every day. Every day we see more and more terrorists killed, more and more terrorists wounded, and in the last few days we see terrorists surrendering – a sign of the collapse of the system, a sign that we must take tougher action,” IDF said -Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi.
Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari later confirmed that many Hamas members surrendered to troops in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, revealing intelligence information about the terror group’s functioning amid the ground offensive.
“In Shejaiya and Jabaliya, the terrorists who surrendered handed over weapons and equipment,” he said, confirming the leaked video. From the interrogations of the terrorists, the army came to the conclusion that the fighters’ situation was difficult and that the Hamas leadership continued to deny reality.

A French frigate intercepted two drones fired from Yemen in the Red Sea, according to the army. The French General Staff said the drones flew from the coast towards the “Languedoc” late on Saturday evening. They were assessed as a threat and destroyed.

10:00 p.m. – Around 7,000 Hamas terrorists killed so far, according to Israel’s security advisor
According to National Security Advisor Zachi Hanegbi, the Israeli armed forces have killed around 7,000 Hamas terrorists in the Gaza war so far. Israeli units have also moved very close to Hamas command centers in Jabalia and Shejaiya in the north of the Gaza Strip, Hanegbi told Channel 12 on Saturday evening.
The information could not be independently verified. As Hanegbi continued, the Israeli leadership’s plan was to kill Hamas leader Jihia al-Sinwar. He wants Hamas to fight to the bitter end.
“But if we kill him, and that is the plan, then the leadership that succeeds him may understand that if they want to avoid his fate, they will have to leave Gaza as a loser,” Hangebi said. A total defeat of Hamas would also clear the way for the liberation of 138 hostages from Islamist violence.
