Speaking at a display made by the Military Intelligence Directorate’s so-called intelligence collection and technical spoils unit — known by its Hebrew acronym Amshat — Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says Hamas intelligence findings recovered by the IDF in Gaza are bringing a “realistic” hostage deal closer.
“You can see a small part of [what the IDF recovered] here, missiles, explosives, mines, many maps, communication devices, documents, computers, hard drives,” says Gallant.
“We penetrated into the heart of Hamas’s most sensitive places, and are using their intelligence against them,” he says.
“The more we deepen this operation, the closer we are to a realistic deal in order to return the hostages,” Gallant adds.
The display will be shown to government ministers today.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
