Hamas command in north Gaza destroyed, Israel says
Army spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters that Palestinian militants are now operating in the area only sporadically and "without commanders".
He said Israel had killed around 8,000 militants in north Gaza. The BBC cannot independently verify this number.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) are now focused on dismantling Hamas in south and central Gaza, he said.
Israel has killed more than 22,000 people since the war began, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. On Saturday it said it had recorded more than 120 deaths over the past 24 hours.
The territory has been devastated and most of the population of 2.3 million has been displaced.

I''m sure they will give the Palestinians access to water and electricity any time soon then...
That’s the neat part
So they're done and they can leave, right? Right?
They have (kind of). Portions of the occupied West Bank are being targeted now.
They've withdrawn some forces. They are going to occupy Gaza in perpetuity.
Excellent, now the fighting and bombing should stop. The still existing Palestinians should get access to water, food, and medicine again. Right…
Pretty easy to believe Israel killed thousands of people. "Militants"? Doubt.
If they kill everyone, they’ll surely kill some militants as well
Every dead male of military age was Hamas.
Hell, I'm sure the babies and children are Hamas too. The IDF can just kill anyone and say that they're "militants."
Seeing as almost 50% of the Palestinian pre-war population was under 18 I'd say that's true.
sigh
What even qualifies as a militant to the IDF?
1-Is Palestinian.
2-Is male (optional).
3- a kid with a rock.
Is this their strategy to start disengagement - declare victory and leave?
Sure sounds like it. All that's missing is the photo-op under a "mission accomplished" banner.
i.e. where they told everyone to go. The genocide rolls on.
That's just because everything has been destroyed.
Thank God, those bastards never appreciated being penned up and under military control like they should have. Don't they get it, that wall was built for them!
Israel defines a militant as "anyone our chatbots tell us to kill" so I'll assume this is bullshit
Genocide? No mention huh?
Prop A Ganda. Fuck of Isreal. Karma is a bitch.
Did the find the hostage though?
