Israeli Army Radio reported that the army’s estimates indicate that the war will not succeed in completely eliminating the capabilities of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) to fire rockets towards Israel, specifically short-range missiles.
The aforementioned radio quoted army officials as saying that the deepening of the fighting and ground operations contributes to reducing the capabilities of Hamas and other organizations, but does not completely end them.
It quoted military officials as saying that the army’s ability to hit long-range missile launchers is better, but it is difficult to reduce the firing of short-range missiles on the “Gaza envelope” areas to zero.
A senior officer told Israeli Army Radio that even after two years, residents of the “Gaza envelope” may hear sirens.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that the war aims to return the prisoners, end Hamas’s continued rule of Gaza since June 2007, and eliminate the military capabilities of the movement, which confirms that it has been resisting the ongoing occupation of Palestine for decades.
Since last October 7, the Israeli army has been waging a devastating war on Gaza, which as of Saturday left 21,672 martyrs, most of them women and children, while the number of injured reached 56,165, after dozens were martyred and wounded in the middle of the Gaza Strip, and the occupation army committed 14 massacres. During the past 24 hours.
In response to daily Israeli attacks against the Palestinian people and their sanctities, especially Al-Aqsa Mosque, Hamas launched the Al-Aqsa Flood attack on that day against military bases and settlements in the vicinity of Gaza.
In the attack, Hamas killed about 1,200 Israelis and captured about 240, exchanging about 110 of them with Israel, which holds more than 7,800 Palestinians in its prisons, during a truce that lasted a week until the beginning of this December, with Qatari-Egyptian-American mediation.
