The head of the Israeli armed forces, General Herzi Halevi, said operations were expanding in southern and central Gaza, while they were close to dismantling Hamas battalions in the northern part of the Strip. But, he warned, the war will last “many more months”.
«I just left the Gaza Strip – he said again at a press conference in the south of Israel – I found the troops in the north of the Strip. I was impressed with the way our forces are fighting, working and achieving the goals we set. The IDF is close to completing the dismantling of Hamas battalions in northern Gaza.” “We eliminated many terrorists and commanders, some of them surrendered to our forces and we took hundreds of prisoners – he added – we destroyed many underground infrastructures and weapons” But, he argued, “in this densely urban area, where terrorists are dressed as civilians, we cannot say that we killed them all.”
