Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vows that Israel will eliminate Hamas and return the hostages the terror group abducted on October 7, during a visit to the Palmachim Airbase.

“In Gaza, we are obligated to eliminate Hamas and also to return the hostages, we are working on these two tasks and I am determined to accomplish both things. It will take as long as it takes, but we must do this task,” he says to soldiers of the Artillery Corps who operate the Hermes 450 drone.
