Some Harsh Truths about Hamas in Gaza
(Israel Hayom) Maj.-Gen. Eliezer Toledano interviewed by Yoav Limor - Maj.-Gen. Eliezer Toledano, head of the IDF Southern Command, said in an inerview that the IDF is seeking an offensive solution to rocket fire from Gaza. "It's a matter of time, but we'll get there." As far as Toledano is concerned, Hamas leaders are living on borrowed time. He revealed that during the May 2021 Gaza War, Hamas tried twice to cross Israel's underground border barrier. Both attempts were thwarted in Gazan territory. "There are no images of victory because we've already won. We're a strong country....Hamas...understands that beating Israel is not an option, or even threatening its existence. But it can scare Israel....We are facing an enemy whose only equipment is to cause fright. To do that, he'll take a balloon and burn our fields, or fire a rocket. That's a weapon of influence, fear, consciousness." "We're strong. And we have wins. During the fighting in May we killed 15 rocket manufacturing operatives under the ground. That's an unprecedented elimination....Think about the intelligence needed to locate them, what capabilities were necessary to hit them. It's true that this doesn't stand up with a mother who has to run with her kid to the stairwell [for protection from rockets], but we need to understand that if we don't panic, they lose."
