Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Sunday reiterated Jerusalem's commitment to destroying Hamas, a process he said would take years.
“The pursuit of Hamas terrorists will continue for years to come—from the most senior ones to the terrorists in the field. We must remember at any given time—and you were here on Oct. 7—we need to remember what Hamas did to us," said Gallant.
"We must eliminate any terrorist who murdered children, raped women and kidnapped the elderly. We must also deter anyone who may attempt to conduct such heinous acts in the future," he added.
Gallant noted that the Israel Defense Forces was "eroding" Hamas’s capabilities. The terrorists in Gaza are "paying huge prices and their ability to rebuild is very limited," he said.
