Israeli Chief of Staff says: We are close to dismantling Hamas in Rafah

Israeli Military Chief of General Staff Herzi Halevi said on Monday that the Hamas battalion in Rafah in southern Gaza has almost been dismantled.

He added, "It is clear that we are approaching the stage where we can say that we have dismantled the Hamas battalion in Rafah. Defeating it does not mean there are no longer terrorists, but that it can no longer operate as a combat unit."
