The Israeli military has warned that, unless the Hamas terror group releases the hostages it took during a recent bloody assault on Israel and surrenders, it is putting “a lot” of lives at risk in Gaza as Israeli forces are determined to “completely dismantle” Hamas and its military capabilities.
In an interview with The Epoch Times’ sister media NTD, Israeli military spokesman Jonathan Conricus said that Israel aspires for a “short, swift, and decisive war” against Hamas that will involve the least amount of casualties among both Israeli forces and civilians in Gaza.
