IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and Shin Bet director Ronen Bar visited southern Gaza’s Khan Younis earlier today, with the former saying the fighting against Hamas in the area is far from over.

“The fighting in Khan Younis — we have not yet finished it, we are far from finishing it, we are summing it up so far as a great success,” Halevi says to troops.

Bar says that the IDF’s actions to dismantle Hamas’s intelligence and communications capabilities are “impossible for [Hamas] to recover from.”
