Hamas terrorists have disguised themselves as IDF soldiers when attacking IDF troops, Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi said Tuesday. Ashkenazi spoke at the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee about fighting in Gaza.
Hamas has taken a serious hit, Ashkenazi said, and has lost much of its infrastructure and weaponry, several top commanders and hundreds of armed fighters.
The IDF is now fighting in an urban environment, making civilian casualties more likely, Ashkenazi continued. While the IDF has warned civilians to leave, Hamas often prevents them from doing so, he added.
