NYT: Israel to take Gaza, but won’t have time to destroy entire Hamas movement

Israel will take control of the Gaza Strip, but won’t have enough time to root out all Hamas forces, reported from The New York Times.

One senior Israeli military official said he was confident that the troops would seize control of Gaza, and Israel claims to have killed hundreds of Hamas militants in its assaults. 

But the official was not sure, with global public opinion turning sharply against Israel, that they would have enough time to root out all of the Hamas forces - a push that Israeli leaders have said could take months.

Publicly, Israeli commanders are claiming steady gains, but offering few details, about their military response to the Hamas attacks of October 7, which left 1,400 soldiers and civilians dead, including women, children and older people and which included torture and abuse.
