Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has approved new plans for the military operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

In a video announcement this evening (Monday), Gallant said that “the combination between the Air Force and ground forces shakes the Gaza Strip.”

Gallant said of the Hamas commanders who have been killed in Gaza, “some of them were the ones we eliminated a day or two ago and they were replaced by others, and they were also eliminated.”

He said that Hamas' leader in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, “hides in his bunker and lets the field commanders die.”

“With us, the commanders go at the front of the force, lead, and achieve,” he said.
