Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared victory over Hamas forces in Gaza's Khan Younis, claiming that 10,000 Hamas fighters have been killed and 10,000 wounded. The IDF has made significant progress in limiting Hamas' operations in the area, with the 55th Reserve Brigade destroying covert shafts and missile launch sites. Gallant also vowed to drive Hamas out of Rafah, although the IDF has avoided using ground troops in that area to prevent conflict with Egypt.
