(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - After three months of war, the Israel Defense Forces said Saturday evening it had completed the dismantling of Hamas' "military framework" in northern Gaza. IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the military was now focused on dismantling Hamas in central and southern Gaza. Hagari said that battles and sporadic rocket fire could still occur in northern Gaza, but the terror group's infrastructure could no longer carry out large-scale attacks. "There are no shortcuts when it comes to fighting terror. We attacked, and will continue to attack...but it takes time." He also said the IDF was building new defenses along the Gaza border to allow residents displaced since Oct. 7 to return to their homes.
