“Israeli” army chief claims Hamas military wing “defeated”

Herzi Halevi, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) Chief of Staff, said Sunday that they defeated the military wing of Hamas, Al-Qassam Brigades – a claim issued on the eve of the anniversary of “Operation Aqsa Typhoon” on Oct. 7th.

"A year has passed, and we have defeated the military wing of Hamas... We have dealt a severe blow to Hezbollah, which has lost all of its senior leadership. We are not stopping," Halevi said addressing the IOF’s troops.

He also vowed to fight a “lengthy war” in what he described as a “war for our right to be a free people in our land” – as the aggression continues on both Gaza and Lebanon.
