Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said over the weekend that Israel would not stop its operations against Hamas until the Palestinian Islamic terrorist group no longer existed, and he encouraged residents of Gaza to help Israel shorten the war by helping kill top Hamas leaders.

Gallant’s remarks come after Israel experienced a terrorist attack on October 7 that, when adjusted for population size, was reportedly equivalent to eight 9/11 attacks.

Gallant said that Hamas had “no limits” with respect to just how barbaric and depraved they are.

“The residents of Israel saw this on October 7 when they saw the severe murders, the abuse, the brutality, the atrocities, the rape, and the kidnappings,” he said. “The heads of Hamas are responsible for this. We will reach them. We will reach [Gaza chief] Yahya Sinwar and eliminate him.”
