Israel is on the verge of a decisive victory over Hamas, controlling 75% of the Gaza Strip and preparing to take Gaza City, the terror group's last major stronghold, retired Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi told Newsmax on Tuesday.
NEWSMAX -- Avivi, chairman of the Israel Defense and Security Forum, joined "Carl Higbie FRONTLINE" host Carl Higbie, who's on special assignment in Israel and Gaza.
Avivi said Hamas has been severely diminished but continues to recruit fighters — even 14-year-old children — from what he called a fully radicalized Gazan society.
"We are in a defining moment where we can defeat Hamas forever," Avivi said. "We have to move forward, go into Gaza City, and destroy this major stronghold of Hamas."
