The Israeli military has touted that their forces have killed more than 17,000 Hamas operatives in the Gaza Strip since the war began, with US officials saying the Jewish state has achieved “the vast majority” of its goals against the terrorists.
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said about 56% of Hamas’ estimated 30,000 forces have been wiped out since Israel waged war following the Oct. 7 massacre.
Hagari said the blow has greatly affected Hamas’ ability to regroup and recover as small battalions have continued to resurface across Gaza after months of intense fighting.
The latest death count is about double what officials had previously estimated in January, when US intelligence found that about 20%-30% of Hamas forces were eradicated.
White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby says the update proves Israel has decimated the terror group’s military capabilities and leadership at all levels.
Kirby also reaffirmed that the US will continue to assist Israel in its ultimate goal of assuring Hamas is wiped out and no longer poses a danger to the Jewish state after more than 1,200 people were killed on Oct. 7.
“Hamas is not just a military organization. It is also an ideology, which still does not believe in the existence of the State of Israel, an ideology which continues to persist in the warped idea that what happened on the 7th of October ought to be able to happen again,” Kirby told reporters Thursday.

Keep going. Just 43% to go to wipe every one of those vermin off the face of the planet
Got to get it done by Election Day. Early voting starts in September.
But their leader in Qatar is still breathing.
doesnt seem to be any palestinian resistance helping
That said, I’d be fine if they sped things up a bit. There are no “innocent civilians” in Gaza.
I would love to see Iran set off one of its nuclear experimental bombs...aimed at Israel...and of course ‘accidently’ blow up underground and just end the ragheads’s mess for once and for all for a couple centuries.
Hezbollah is next.
It’s a start.
Half is a good start ... clean them all out, IDF!
let’s get rid of the evil Fakestinian murder gangsters and their enablers, supporters all.
It’s a start. An internal revolution would be nice.
Peace can (perhaps) be made with the Gazans. But not with Hamas.
PTL!
100% dead.
Anything else is not yet victory.
Bombs away!
Besides the fact that they cannot easily kill many more Jews, what really freaks out the islamofascistnazis is that when Israel succeeded in Rafah, the massive smuggling $$$ have been almost eliminated. Besides smuggling arms, bombs and terrorists, who knows how much other smuggling went on. The Hamas billionaires in Qatar could care less about anyone but themselves, and, of course, killing more Jews.
Trump slams Harris for ‘always demanding ceasefire,’ says he’d deport ‘pro-Hamas thugs’
PRESIDENT TRUMP: When I’m president, we will DEPORT the foreign jihad sympathizers and Hamas supporters. If you hate America, if you want to eliminate Israel, then we don’t want you in our country.
