[UPDATE-Day 75-Dec 20-23:00Z] Israel-Hamas War: Real Time Reaction and Analysis

Israel seized Jabalia, about to take over Shujayya in Gaza, says President Herzog

Israel has established full control over the city of Jabalia in the Gaza Strip and is about to take over the city of Shujayya, Israeli President Isaac Herzog said.

“We have just completed the total conquest of Jabalia and are about to complete [the takeover of] Shujayya,” he told the Washington-based Atlantic Council. “We intend to take over the entire Gaza Strip,” the president of the Hebrew state continued, adding that only this can enable Israelis and Palestinians “live in peace in the future.”

Israel believes that the current position of Palestine’s terroristl Hamas movement in the north of the Gaza Strip can be described as “close to a collapse,” Senior Advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister Mark Regev has told CNN. “As you know, in the north, there have been many, many surrenders of Hamas terrorists. They are close, we believe, to a collapse there. In the south – because we started our operation a bit later – it will take a little more time,” he said.

Regev added that the Israeli army is “managing to be more surgical in hitting Hamas,” and, as a result, “the number of civilians getting caught up in the crossfire is going down.”
