On December 9, local time, according to the Israel Defense Forces, the Hamas Jabaliya Battalion in Gaza surrendered en masse, and the Hamas base camp fell into the hands of the Israel Defense Forces.
Military spokesmen said they were interrogating all those in the area who surrendered after the fighting.
Nearly 100 Hamas*** in the Gaza Strip reportedly surrendered to the Israeli army after being surrounded by IDF armored and mechanized infantry units during combat operations.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herz Al-Halevi said the military is beginning to see the collapse of Hamas's governance system in the Gaza Strip while lighting Hanukkah candles in southern Gaza along with Nahar Brigade troops.
I can see the achievements every day. Every day we see more and more terrorists being killed, more and more terrorists being injured, and in recent days we have seen *** surrender – a sign that the system is unraveling, a sign that we need to work harder. ”
On the 8th local time, Biden used emergency powers to bypass congressional approval and allow immediate delivery to Israel to exceed 10.6 billion dollars of 120-mm tank shells. The transfer is part of a $500 million military aid package to Israel announced by the United States last Friday and will be completed in phases.
It is reported that the 14000 rounds of tank shells for emergency resale this time are worth more than 10.6 billion US dollars. After the outbreak of the war, the United States provided Israel with 200 transport planes totaling 10,000 tons of military supplies, and an average of at least 3 transport planes flew to Israel every day.
Of course, the urgency of the United States' assistance to Israel is related to the international environment facing Israel and the response from within the United States to Biden's demand for Israel to cease fire as soon as possible.
Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Biden that the operation in Khan Nizhius in southern Gaza would continue for several weeks, but Biden** has made a clear shift in attitude towards Israel's actions in the north and south, that is, urging Israel to minimize the number of civilians**, and the tone has been harsh.
Obviously, Biden's urgent allocation of aid for Israel is to let Israel end the war in the shortest possible time when it has sufficient ammunition, and if aid to Ukraine is a bipartisan consensus, Biden can blame the Republican Party for the failure of the aid bill to pass, and the domestic and foreign pressure for Israel to cease fire is too great for Biden. In a word, it can be summed up that aid to Ukraine will increase the base of Biden and the Democratic Party, and aid to Israel will reduce the base of Biden and the Democratic Party.
On December 9, local time, an IDF spokesman said that the investigation of Hamas elements captured in northern Gaza showed that at the beginning of Israel's anti-terrorist operation, Sinwar hid in a "humanitarian convoy" and escaped from Gaza City. The Times of Israel reported that Hamas's leader in Gaza, Al Sinwar, had fled northern Gaza and is now staying in the tunnels of Khannius in the south. Not surprisingly, the Israeli army's days of siege before attacking the Shifa hospital in northern Gaza were enough to keep Sinwar hiding among refugees and carrying them into the south. Of course, in order to reduce humanity, Israel can only watch him flee. But at least in Gaza, Sinwar has nine lives that are not enough to die.
As more Hamas goes out of the tunnels and surrenders, Hamas's rule is collapsing, and the Gazans have rarely begun to accuse Hamas of stealing international aid and saying that they are not afraid of being killed, which has a greater impact on Hamas than if Hamas went directly out of the tunnels to surrender to the Israeli army, which means that Gazans no longer fear them. And finding and killing Sinwar will undoubtedly greatly advance the end of this war.
