IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, in his press conference, says Hamas is losing control of the Gaza Strip.
“Alongside the continuous military pressure against Hamas, its rule is cracking and is being undermined,” he says, attributing this to the new aid distribution system that ostensibly prevents Hamas from taking control of the humanitarian aid.
“Each day, tens of thousands of food packages are handed out, directly to residents,” Defrin says.
“Hamas is losing control of the population,” he adds.
