Yedioth Ahronoth: 2 years have passed, and Hamas has not been defeated.
“Yoav Zeitoun,” a military correspondent for the Zionist newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, wrote in an article in the newspaper criticizing the performance of the Israeli army and cabinet headed by “Benjamin Netanyahu” in the war against the Gaza Strip: “Hamas has not collapsed or been defeated militarily or organizationally, even after almost two years since October 7, 2023. The Israeli army also clarified this week that the goal of Operation “Gideon’s Chariots 2” was to defeat the unit (Hamas movement) in Gaza City, not to defeat Hamas as a whole.
He added: “In the period before the attack, Netanyahu repeatedly claimed that victory over Hamas was ‘within reach,’ but he repeated this claim many times during the war, for example, before entering the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip more than a year ago.”
The Zionist correspondent wrote: The exact number of militants (resistance fighters) remaining in the Gaza Strip is not known, but in Gaza City, estimates indicate that there are approximately 2,500 militants. The Israeli army estimated this week that Hamas has set itself a main goal. This goal is to achieve an achievement in the first days, namely to capture an Israeli soldier during the Israeli army’s operation to occupy Gaza City.
On September 3 (September 12), the Zionist regime’s army launched an offensive called “Gideon’s Chariots 2” to completely occupy Gaza City, which sparked criticism and protests within the Israeli regime and raised concerns about the lives of the prisoners and Zionist soldiers.
This action by the Zionist regime has also been met with a wave of condemnation from personalities, politicians, countries, and international institutions.
