Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that dozens of Hamas terrorists have surrendered to Israeli forces in recent days, which he says shows the failure of Hamas and its fight against Israel.

“In the past few days, dozens of Hamas terrorists have surrendered before our forces. They put down their weapons and turn themselves over to our brave fighters,” Netanyahu says in a video statement.

“It will take more time, the war is still in full force, but this is the beginning of the end of Hamas,” he adds. “I say to the terrorists of Hamas: It’s over. Don’t die for [Yahya] Sinwar. Surrender — now.”
