Israel will continue operations against the radical Hamas movement everywhere, including areas it has not yet entered, Defence Minister Yoav Galant said before a meeting in Washington with the US presidential national security advisor, Jake Sullivan.
Jerrymusa.com reports that in particular, he was referring to the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

“We will take action against Hamas everywhere, even in places we haven’t yet been. According to Galant, “We have no moral right to end the war in the Gaza Strip before we bring all the hostages home,” the press office for the Israeli Defence Ministry reported.
Palestine “will find an alternative to [Gaza’s ruling] Hamas so that the IDF (Israel Defence Forces) can fulfil its mission [to destroy Hamas and free the hostages],” said Galant.
