This ‘toon is not remotely close to the truth. The IDF has destroyed 20 Hamas battalions consisting of about 26,000 terrorists . They have four battalions left in Rafah which are Command and Control units of the Hamas leadership. Hamas has two choices, surrender and disband those four battalions or be destroyed. No other armed force of a country at war in a similar situation would stop at this point and it is crazy to ask the IDF to do so. It would be like in WWII if the allies has merely surrounded Berlin and then just stopped. If the IDF doesn’t finish the job by totally dismantling Hamas then all of the collateral damage, death, injuries and destruction will have been for nothing. Hamas will use those four C&C battalions as core units to rebuild their terrorist organization and Israel will be back where they were prior to 10/7.
