Hamas Has Lost Control Of Gaza, Says Israel

POSTED ON November 13, 2023 •   World      BY Segun Adewole

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant asserted on Monday that Hamas, the ruling authority in the Gaza Strip for the past 16 years, has "lost control" of the territory. Gallant made this statement without presenting concrete evidence during a video broadcast on Israel's main TV stations.

According to Gallant, there are reports of terrorists associated with Hamas fleeing southward, and civilians engaging in looting activities at Hamas bases. The Defense Minister suggested a lack of faith among the population in the current government, stating, "They don't have faith in the government anymore."

The comments come amid ongoing tensions and unrest in the Gaza Strip, with the situation evolving rapidly. The assertion that Hamas has lost control raises questions about the current state of governance in the region and the potential implications for security and stability.

It's important to note that these claims are part of the broader context of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, and the situation on the ground is subject to change. Independent verification of the statements made by the Israeli Defense Minister is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics in the region. The developments in Gaza will continue to be closely monitored as the situation unfolds.
