Hamas may have reached turning point

Today may be the “turning point” in the fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas fighters in the Gaza Strip, Channel 2 reports, citing sources in the IDF.

The sources reportedly say that the tide of the fighting is turning, that a certain demoralization has set in among the Hamas fighters in the Strip, and that there has been a “major decline” in rocket attacks on Israel.

The military says 150 Hamas fighters have turned themselves in today, and that the organization’s best units were fighting in Shejaiya, where the IDF has focused many of its efforts to uncover terror tunnels.

However, the military is said to continue warning troops against relentless kidnapping attempts by Hamas. The soldiers are warned not to underestimate the terrorist organization, which will not surrender easily.
