Israeli forces moving through the Gaza Strip, which Hamas had controlled since 2007, are moving on to the "third phase" of ground operations in the territory, Halevi added.

Israel has been pursuing high-up Hamas officials, and in the early hours of Wednesday, the IDF said it had killed "several Hamas commanders and operatives" belonging to the group's second-largest brigade, Northern Gaza Strip Brigade.

IDF says they've killed 5000 Hamas animals already, but with initial estimates of maybe 25,000 Hamas scumbags there originally, there's still a LOT of trash to be removed

Expect this to go on for many more weeks/months ...

Northern Gaza Strip Brigade is a proxy for Hamas. Gaza Brigade is a proxy for Hamas. Hamas is a proxy for Islam.

“...of ground operations in the devastated Gaza Strip.”

Devastated! Gee, isn’t that unfortunate. NOT. Flatten it, so they can never return.

Devastated!

Maybe someone should inform Hamas and friends that it is unwise to attack a much stronger foe. You may very well get devastated.

Castrate all the males found alive in Gaza

The leaders should be stripped, castrated, dipped in pig fat then set ablaze and hung from light poles ‘from the river to the sea’

To torture, for info (and maybe revenge too)

Then execute and cremate, and return the ashes to Gaza for burial

In times of War, different rules apply

To absolutely and thoroughly drain him of intel and information. He's dead regardless the only question is the method of his death.
