Defense Minister Yoav Gallant (Likud) on Saturday evening gave a press briefing, promising to eliminate Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
"The Hamas [terrorist] organization has no boundaries – Israel’s citizens witnessed this first hand on October 7th when they saw the murders, abuse, brutality, rape, kidnapping, and other atrocities conducted by the terrorists," Gallant said.
"Hamas leadership is responsible for this and we will get to them. We will get to Yahya Sinwar and we will eliminate him.
"I can tell you that 12 Hamas battalion commanders have already been eliminated. We will reach everyone, to the chain of command and to the terrorists in the field."
Gallant promised, "One thing I can say to the citizens of Israel - at the end of the war there will no longer be Hamas in Gaza, there will be no security threat from the Gaza Strip to Israel, and Israel will have complete freedom of action to carry out any security actions it needs against anyone who [threatens us]."
