‘Permanently Neutralized’: Israel’s Final Blow to Hamas
Israel’s military operations in Gaza have intensified since the collapse of a two-month ceasefire. The IDF has launched ground and air campaigns against key areas. Israeli officials noted that they made substantial gains, eliminating most senior Hamas leaders and reducing its operational capacity, forcing the group into survival mode.
Maj. Gen. Yaakov Amidror, a former Israeli national security advisor, stated, “We’ve been fighting them for 10 days. All they’ve managed to do is fire seven rockets. That tells you how much damage we’ve inflicted already.”
Amidror added, “The strategic environment has changed. Hezbollah is weaker, Iran is constrained, and the American administration is offering us true support. They’re not telling us where to bomb or how to fight.”
Efforts to distribute aid have been recalibrated to bypass Hamas’ control. Officials reportedly developed mechanisms to keep humanitarian supplies from being exploited.
Amidror stated, “We’re not just degrading military capabilities anymore.” He added, “We’re dismantling the structure that allowed Hamas to govern.”
Hostages held by Hamas have remained a critical issue, recently fueling public protests. Israeli leaders argued that military pressure is key to securing their release.
