Military Wing of Hamas Defeated, Organization Operating As Guerilla Group, IDF Says

The IDF claimed that the military wing of Hamas has been defeated and the group is now operating as a guerilla organization, Israeli media reported on Friday, September 27, citing unnamed IDF sources.

At the UN General Assembly on Friday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israeli forces have destroyed “nearly all of Hamas’s terror battalions - 23 out of 24 now.”

“To complete our victory, we are focused on mopping up Hamas's remaining fighting capabilities,” he continued, noting that the IDF “is taking out senior commanders and destroying terrorist infrastructure.”

Despite the report that Hamas functions as a guerilla organization, the prime minister said the same day that the terrorist group “still has some governing power in the Gaza Strip,” - stating that Hamas terrorists steal food meant for Gaza’s civilian population.

One of the latest updates in the war is the death of a head of a Hamas network in southern Syria who was killed in an airstrike Friday overnight. Ahmed Muhammad Fahd, was responsible for directing attacks on troops and against the country, mostly with rocket fire on the Golan Heights.

Further, a kilometer-long tunnel was recently located and demolished in the central Gaza Strip, the IDF announced. The tunnel, which the military says was built under a civilian area and close to several homes, was found by troops of the 5th Brigade and combat engineers, including members of the elite Yahalom Combat Engineering Unit.
