IDF chief says military will make Hamas understand it needs to release all hostages

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says the military is working to bring Hamas “to the point where it will understand that it needs to [release] all the hostages.”

“I look at the situation that Hamas is in, they see every day what you are doing to them and they understand that this thing is close to being unbearable,” Halevi tells officers in northern Gaza’s Jabalia.

“We will not stop, we will bring [Hamas] to the point where it will understand that it needs to [release] all the hostages, otherwise the very professional work you are doing will continue and continue, and it means more prisoners and more dead operatives,” he adds.
