Former Chief of General Staff of the Israeli occupation army, Dan Halutz, said that "Israel" lost the war against Hamas, stressing that the only victory to be achieved is the overthrow of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israeli Channel 14's correspondent, Yishai Friedman, released a recording of his conversation with Halutz in 'Haifa' with anti-government protest activists, which took place during the war. In the conversation, Halutz stated, "There will be no image of victory because the image reflects the loss of 1,300 lives and 240 prisoners, despite their return, and approximately 200,000 refugees who failed to return to their homes."

Halutz continued by expressing, "For me, the picture of victory will be when Prime Minister Netanyahu steps down."

'Israel' unable to secure a victory

A few days ago, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth suggested that reports of the Israeli army expanding its ground incursion into the Gaza Strip signify two things, with the most notable being its inability to secure a victory thus far.

It is worth noting that the Israeli army's death toll since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood has reached 491. Additionally, the number of casualties since the initiation of the ground operation has reached 158, as reported by Israeli media.

However, it is acknowledged that the actual death toll is considerably higher, as evidenced by military scenes broadcast by Palestinian resistance media. This underscores the substantial extent of losses incurred by the Israeli occupation.
