Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced to foreign journalists that the Palestinian group Hamas no longer exists as a military force, reports the German newspaper BILD.
"Hamas as a military force no longer exists. The group is waging a guerilla war, and we are still fighting Hamas terrorists and pursuing their leadership,” he added.
In a series of operations in recent months, the Israel Defense Forces have eliminated some of the highest-ranking commanders of the Palestinian movement, the editorial office recalls.
