Defense Minister Yoav Gallant tells IDF reservists that at least half of Hamas operatives in Gaza have been killed or wounded.

“We’re in a long war, but at the end we will break Hamas,” Gallant says. “Terrorists remain, and we are fighting against pockets of resistance… it will take months, not one day,” he adds.

“On the other hand, they don’t have supplies, they don’t have ammunition and they don’t have reinforcements,” he continues. “It’s hard for them to take care of themselves, of their wounded, and other things. We have killed already a quarter of the Hamas terrorists at least, and the same number are wounded.”
