‘Hamas in a state of disarray as our operations increase,’ IDF spokesman tells FRANCE 24

Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, the chief international spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces, has discussed the progress of Israeli forces in their operations against Hamas in an interview with FRANCE 24. “Hamas are currently in a state of disarray as our operations increase and we are currently doing everything to be prepared for a potential ground operation,” Lerner said, without going into details about the expected ground assault. Confirming the killing of Hamas militant Ali Qadi, one of the leaders of last week’s deadly incursion into Israeli territory, he added: “They should all know, from the mastermind of the massacre (…), right at the top, all the way down to the individual terrorist that conducted this massacre, we will not cease until they take them.”
