In a recent address to IDF forces in Rafah, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant reiterated the mission of Operation Faucet Closure, stressing the need to block Hamas from rearming. Gallant announced that multiple tunnels had already been destroyed, and more were set to follow suit, effectively ending the terror group's ability to receive weapons from across the border.

Gallant affirmed that the operation would see the deployment of additional forces to intensify efforts in dismantling Hamas as a military organization. He confidently stated that Hamas had no future, lacking the means to manufacture weapons, acquire supplies, or stockpile ammunition, as the IDF continues its systematic dismantlement.

However, despite the progress made in Rafah, the IDF sources admit to uncertainty regarding the total number of cross-border tunnels used by Hamas to smuggle weapons into Egypt. The exact timeline for locating and destroying all tunnels also remains unclear.

While the IDF focuses its efforts in Rafah, the volatile situation in southern Israel has seen an uptick in rocket and mortar attacks by Hamas. Surprisingly, these attacks have surpassed the frequency seen over the past month, indicating that the terror group has maintained hidden rocket and mortar capabilities both in Rafah and Jabalia in northern Gaza.

The IDF remains hopeful that these recent attacks signify the last desperate attempts by Hamas to fire rockets and mortars, as they confront increasing pressure from Israeli forces. The commitment to dismantling Hamas's supply lines remains unwavering as the IDF seeks to achieve a lasting peace and security for the region.

As the operation continues, Israelis are watching closely, hoping that the faucet to Hamas's weaponry will be firmly turned off, ensuring a safer future for the nation.
