Press TV \u2013 Sept 14, 2024<\/strong><\/h1>\n

A member of Knesset (the Israeli parliament) has strongly refuted a claim made recently by the regime\u2019s army about achieving \u201cvictory\u201d over one of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas\u2019 brigades.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ohad Tal made the remarks on Thursday after army spokesman Daniel Hagari alleged that the regime\u2019s forces had \u201cdefeated\u201d the group\u2019s Rafah Brigade, killing more than 2,300 fighters and destroying over 13 kilometers of tunnel used by the resistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t go on like this,\u201d Tal wrote in a post on X, former Twitter, saying Hagari \u201cis simply not telling the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI listen to the summaries from the security sources, and I have contact with various military sources, and I receive from them a completely different picture,\u201d the legislator added.<\/p>\n

Tal said even if the numbers given by the spokesman \u201cis accurate [which it is not],\u201d Hamas has still retained around 30 to 40 percent of its strength in Rafah.<\/p>\n

The Islamic Jihad, Hamas\u2019 fellow Gaza Strip-based resistance movement, still possesses \u201cthousands\u201d of fighters in the area too, he noted.<\/p>\n

The claim made by the Israeli army came amid an ongoing genocidal war that the regime has been waging against Gaza Since October 7 as a means of, what it calls, trying to impose defeat on the resistance.<\/p>\n

Reporting on Friday, Lebanon\u2019s al-Akhbar <\/em>newspaper said the army had alleged the \u201cvictory\u201d as a means of trying to pressure the regime\u2019s officials into working towards clinching a ceasefire in the military onslaught.<\/p>\n

The claim was also meant to prompt Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to give up his insistence on maintaining a military presence along the Philadelphi Corridor, the strip of land that runs along Gaza\u2019s border with Egypt, which Tel Aviv alleges to be a \u201clifeline\u201d for Hamas, the paper added.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu has turned a deaf ear to vociferous international demands calling for an end to the hugely deadly consequences of the war that has so far claimed the lives of at least 41,118 Palestinians, mostly women and children.<\/p>\n

He has also dismissed internal uproar against the continuation of the war by those demanding the release of the regime\u2019s captives who remain in Gaza.<\/p>\n

The premier has vowed to sustain the onslaught until Hamas\u2019 \u201celimination,\u201d a prospect that has been ruled out as impossible by the group and even some Israeli officials and Tel Aviv\u2019s allies.<\/p>\n

Back in June, Hagari, himself, asserted, \u201cWhoever thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong,\u201d adding, \u201cHamas is an idea, Hamas is a party. It\u2019s rooted in the hearts of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
