IDF spokesperson Moti Almoz tells Channel 2 the IDF has made “significant accomplishments,” and says the army needs a few more days to finish destroying the tunnels.

His statements come on the heels of statements by IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz earlier today, according to which most of the cross-border tunnels have been demolished.

Almoz says the IDF continues its operations in destroying the tunnels during the humanitarian truces. He says there are “hundreds of dead terrorists,” including many operatives who were afraid to confront the IDF and stayed in the tunnels while they were bombed.

With regard to the rockets, Almoz says Hamas is not producing more projectiles, and that the continuing rocket fire is “fire of desperation.”
