The IDF has said that only two out of twenty-four Hamas battalions remain in Gaza.
President-elect Donald Trump’s Vice President-elect J.D. Vance explained on Fox News what Trump meant when he said, “All hell would break loose” if the hostages in Gaza aren’t freed by his inauguration on January 20.
Vance said, “It means enabling the Israelis to knock out the final couple of battalions of Hamas and their leadership. It means very aggressive sanctions and financial penalties on those who are supporting terrorist organizations in the Middle East. It means doing the job of American leadership,” Vance said.
The IDF has said that only two out of twenty-four Hamas battalions remain, but the delay in dismantling them is due to intelligence indicating that they are holding most of the remaining hostages, and the IDF is concerned that operations may harm the captives.
