Gaza war: Israel's army loses places in the Gaza Strip

The Israeli armed forces fought in more and more places in the Gaza Strip that they had previously occupied.

This shows how hard Israel is fighting to eliminate Hamas and bring the Palestinian coastal area under its control, the report said.

With its war goal of eliminating Hamas militarily and politically, Israel's leadership has set a high bar that will be difficult to achieve, Yossi Mekelberg, Middle East analyst at the London-based think tank Chatham House, told the newspaper.

“Anything below that will be perceived as a failure.”
