Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proclaimed a turning point in the conflict with Hamas, urging surrender from the Palestinian group. Netanyahu asserted, "The war is still ongoing but it is the beginning of the end of Hamas." Notably, dozens of Hamas operatives have reportedly surrendered, though Israel has not provided proof, and Hamas denies such claims. The conflict ignited on October 7 when Hamas launched a deadly attack on Israel, resulting in widespread devastation in Gaza. The relentless Israeli offensive has claimed over 17,997 lives, predominantly women and children, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. The situation remains tense as the region grapples with the aftermath of the prolonged conflict.
