In a recent development, Daniel Higari, a representative of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), announced the successful elimination of more than 400 Hamas fighters in the southern part of Israel and the Gaza Strip. This significant achievement comes as the IDF intensifies its operations in the Kfar Aza kibbutz, conducting combat activities and carrying out searches in various cities. Higari emphasized that the IDF has a strong presence in all populated areas of Israel.
The primary objectives of the IDF, according to Higari, are to evacuate residents from cities near the Gaza Strip, cease hostilities within Israeli territory, secure breaches in the security barrier, and continue striking terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip. This announcement follows a previous statement by Higari, where he mentioned that Israeli authorities would evacuate all residents living near the border with Gaza within 24 hours.
On October 7th, the IDF spokesperson reported that terrorists from the Gaza Strip had infiltrated Israel’s border areas following a massive rocket barrage from the enclave. Hamas militants launched rockets targeting Israeli cities near the border as well as areas in Tel Aviv. Israel’s Defense Minister, Yoav Galant, declared that the Palestinian radical Islamist movement had declared war on his country. Consequently, the Defense Minister called for a mass mobilization of reservists in response to the escalating situation.
Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to destroy Hamas as tensions continued to rise. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has caused significant concern in the region, with potential implications for broader stability.
