Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant informed IDF troops that the military has killed a quarter of Hamas terrorists and wounded another quarter, significantly diminishing the group's capabilities. The IDF is expected to increase its military presence in the northern Gaza Strip to preempt Hamas' re-establishment efforts, as Israel's attention shifts to the south. Gallant's remarks suggest that the IDF's operations have effectively halved Hamas' terror army. Concurrently, as the IDF engages Hamas in the Gaza Strip, additional units are being readied for potential action on the northern border.
