Hamas is under “great pressure” with the terror organization having lost most of its assets and control of Gaza, Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir declared during a Sunday tour of the Strip.

“We are intensifying our activity according to a structured plan,” he told soldiers currently fighting in the Khan Yunis area of southern Gaza.

Zamir added that “Hamas is under tremendous pressure; it has lost most of its assets and its command-and-control structure. We will use all our tools to bring the hostages home, to defeat Hamas and to dismantle its rule.”
