During a cabinet meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel is nearing the completion of its objective to eliminate all individuals responsible for the October 7 attacks by Hamas. This statement followed the Israeli military's announcement of the death of Ezzedine Al-Haddad, a commander of Hamas's armed wing, killed in an airstrike. Netanyahu described Al-Haddad as a 'despicable terrorist' and reiterated his commitment to targeting and eliminating those behind the October 7 massacre, which resulted in the deaths of 1,221 people in Israel. The Israeli military has conducted a campaign against senior Hamas leaders, claiming responsibility for the deaths of key figures such as Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Deif. Furthermore, Netanyahu reported that Israeli forces currently control 60 percent of Gaza, indicating an expansion of military operations despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire that was supposed to limit their presence. The conflict has resulted in a staggering 72,700 deaths in Gaza, primarily civilians, according to the local health ministry, a figure the United Nations considers reliable. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel's mission is to ensure Gaza no longer poses a threat to its security.
