In recent developments, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant disclosed a significant shift in the dynamics of the ongoing conflict within the Gaza Strip. Gallant revealed that a substantial number of Hamas militants, disillusioned and lacking the will to continue fighting, have surrendered to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the past few days. This occurrence has been notably observed in Khan Yunis, a key stronghold for Hamas in southern Gaza, where concerted military efforts by the IDF are yielding tangible results. Specifically, Gallant mentioned the surrender of 200 terrorists at Nasser Hospital and additional surrenders at Amal Hospital, highlighting a clear demoralization among the ranks of Hamas fighters.
