Def Min Claims 'Hamas' Rafah Division Defeated'

ISRAEL

On a visit to the Philadelphi corridor (the strip of land separating Gaza and Egypt), Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant claims that Hamas' "Rafah division has been defeated. Over 150 underground tunnels have been destroyed [along the corridor]."

  • Gallant: "The most important thing... is to remember what the goals of the war are, to meet all the goals of the war, both regarding Hamas and also regarding the hostages, and to look north now,"
  • The stated dismantling of Hamas' Rafah division could signal a significant change in IDF operations in Gaza, backtowards Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah in the south and centre of the area, rather than Rafah on the southern border.
