Given the surrender of numerous Hamas fighters in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military and the domestic intelligence service Shin Bet assume that the Islamist organization’s fighting spirit is breaking. “We are applying a lot of pressure. I think that they surrender and come out with their hands up shows that their fighting spirit is broken. This accelerates our successes, after all we want to move forward quickly,” said Chief of General Staff Herzi Halevi on Monday.
He met the head of the Shin Bet, Ronen Bar, in the Hamas stronghold of Khan Yunis. “We are securing our territorial gains in the north and south of the Gaza Strip.”
According to Israeli information, more and more Hamas fighters have recently surrendered. In addition, according to National Security Advisor Zachi Hanegbi, around 7,000 Hamas terrorists have been killed so far.
The Gaza war was triggered by the worst massacre in Israel’s history, carried out by terrorists from Hamas and other groups on October 7th in Israel near the border with the Gaza Strip. More than 1,200 people were killed in the unprecedented attacks. Israel then began massive air strikes and, since the end of October, a ground offensive in the area. According to the Hamas-controlled health authority, around 18,000 people have now been killed and more than 49,200 injured.
