Israel Army Chief Says Gaza War 'Will Last Many More Months'

POSTED ON December 26, 2023 •   World      BY Segun Adewole

Israel Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi, declared on Tuesday that the ongoing war with the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip is anticipated to extend "for many more months." Speaking at a televised press conference, Halevi outlined the military's commitment to employing diverse strategies to ensure the enduring impact of their achievements.

Highlighting the complexity of dismantling a terrorist organization, Halevi emphasized, "There are no magic solutions, there are no shortcuts when it comes to thoroughly dismantling a terrorist organization except being stubborn and determined in the fighting." This candid acknowledgment underscores the challenges inherent in dealing with the entrenched dynamics of the conflict.

Providing insight into the current military focus, Halevi disclosed that the Israeli army is concentrating its efforts in the southern region of the Gaza Strip. He asserted progress, noting that "terrorists have been eliminated, and hundreds have been taken captive." The statement reflects the ongoing intensity of the conflict and the military's commitment to disrupting Hamas's operations.

The prognosis of an extended conflict from Israel's top military official sheds light on the persistent challenges in the region. As the situation unfolds, the dynamics of the conflict between Israel and Hamas continue to shape the geopolitical landscape, with implications for regional stability and international relations.
