Netanyahu said Israeli military offensive against Hamas in Gaza has been an “extraordinary success”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed this Tuesday that the military offensive against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip has been an “extraordinary success,” although organizations and countries have expressed concern about the death of thousands of Palestinian civilians in the midst of the attacks.

A month after the Hamas attack, the Israeli State announced that it has attacked more than 14,000 terrorist targets. He also reported that his troops are fighting inside Gaza, for the first time in years, Efe published.

“For the first time in decades, the Israeli Defense Forces are fighting in the heart of Gaza City. At this very moment, our soldiers are eliminating terrorists, uncovering tunnels, destroying weapons while continuing to advance towards the center of the enemy,” said Yaron Finkelman, commander of the Israeli Army’s Southern Command.

Just this Tuesday, the prime minister said in a televised statement that “Hamas is discovering” that Israel has reached places it thought it would never reach. “In the south, the war is advancing with a force that Hamas has never seen. Gaza City is surrounded, we are operating inside it. “We are intensifying the pressure on Hamas every hour, every day,” he said.
