The Hamas leader spoke for the first time since the October 7 attack

More than two months after Hamas’ surprise attack in Israel, the terror group’s leader spoke publicly for the first time and said his militias would “destroy the occupation army.” The Al Qassam Brigades will destroy the occupation army, they are on their way to crushing it and will not submit to the conditions of the occupation,” he said on Monday through broadcast channels, after stating that the conflict comprises a “fierce, violent and unprecedented battle” against Israel. And then he assured that “a third of them died, another third were seriously injured and the last third were permanently disabled.” For its part, the Israeli army gave widely different figures, confirming a total of 156 casualties since the start of the war, in addition to the 333 during the first attack on October 7. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said that the IDF is on its way to destroying Hamas, its main target in the conflict, which they believe is the only way to restore peace in the Gaza area.
