Israeli leaders vow to prolong Gaza War

Gaza December 27, 2023 (QJ) -Israel’s war against Hamas will continue for “many more months,” Israel’s top military chief said Tuesday, echoing similar statements recently made by other Israeli leaders.

In a briefing given by the commander of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Herzi Halevi said that since the war is being fought in a “complex area” it will continue for many more months and will be operated in different ways so that the successes will be maintained.

Adding the IDF is close to its goal of “dismantling” Hamas in northern Gaza.

Halevi’s statement comes after Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned of a long war ahead and that Israel is in a “multi-arena war,” with the country being attacked from many directions.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that the war is far from over, after his second visit to Gaza since October 7.
