Israel says 8,000 Hamas gunmen killed in north Gaza as war completes 3 months
Israel claims dismantling of Hamas military in northern Gaza, killing 8,000 gunmen. Diplomatic efforts to prevent regional spillover intensify.
Israel declared the completion of dismantling Hamas's "military framework" in northern Gaza, citing the deaths of around 8,000 Palestinian gunmen after three months of conflict. The move occurred amidst visits by top US and EU diplomats to prevent the Israel-Hamas war from spreading to neighbouring Lebanon and the wider Middle East. International pressure for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid in Gaza persists. Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari stated that similar operations are ongoing to dismantle Hamas's network in central and southern Gaza.
