Nov 28, 2024

Telangana (India), November 28 (ANI): Israel's Ambassador to India, Reuven Azar spoke to ANI about Hamas, how Israel is neutralising the terrorists and the way Hamas is exploiting the aid meant for Palestinians. The conflict in Gaza reignited after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. About 2,500 terrorists breached the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip, killing more than 1200 people, including citizens of more than 30 countries, and also took 250 people as hostages. Following the October 7 attack, Israel launched a counter-offensive against Hamas, vowing to eliminate the entire terror group. Ambassador Reuven Azar said that Israel has given "very severe blows" to Hamas."We have neutralised all the battalions of Hamas and we have neutralised the missile threat against Israel from the Gaza Strip. Now we have to bring back the rest of our hostages. We will continue putting pressure in order to reach a situation that we get our hostages back on the one hand and in parallel, we prevent the rearming and regrouping of Hamas terrorist organisation", the Ambassador told ANI.
