Israel expects to disarm the military formations of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas in 2026, said Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, APA reports.
"2026 will be a crucial year for shaping security realities for the state of Israel. Our determination to disarm Hamas is absolute. We will not allow the terrorist organization Hamas to restore its potential and threaten us," he said as quoted by the army press service.
According to Zamir, the Israeli military is firmly holding positions along the Yellow Line inside the Gaza Strip, which the general called "a new security frontier." "The Yellow Line is a fortified defensive line that ensures a rapid operational response. We will continue to weaken Hamas as needed - the troops must be alert and ready for developments," he said.
