Israel’s military chief, Herzi Halevi, has stated that the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza is likely to continue for several months. Speaking from the Gaza border in a televised statement, Halevi emphasized that different methods will be employed to maintain their achievements over an extended period of time. He stressed that dismantling a terrorist organization requires determined and persistent fighting, with no easy solutions or shortcuts. Halevi also expressed the intention to target Hamas’ leadership, regardless of the time it may take.
Israel initiated its offensive against Hamas on October 7, in response to an incursion by Hamas fighters into Israeli territory, resulting in the deaths of 1,200 people and the capture of 240 hostages. Since then, Israel’s air, sea, and ground operations in Gaza have led to the deaths of nearly 21,000 Palestinians, according to authorities. Halevi justified the duration of the conflict by stating that far-reaching goals were set from the beginning, and the military will adapt its methods accordingly.
While acknowledging the ambitious nature of completely eradicating the enemy surrounding Israel, Halevi expressed confidence in creating a new security situation. He concluded by stating that the war’s duration will allow the military to adjust its strategies and ultimately establish a safer environment for Israel.
