Lede: Experts in Israel say the number of Hamas casualties are "much less" than
what has been reported
...
Israeli Reserve Major-General Itzhak Brik said this week that the number of
Hamas fighters killed by Israel is much lower than what has been reported. Tel
Aviv claims thousands of fighters have been killed.
Analysts and media outlets "present a false picture" on the number of dead Hamas
fighters, Brik said, clarifying that the number of dead is actually "much less."
"Do not believe the Israeli army and analysts. There is no solution to Hamas
tunnels," Brik added.
"Fighters come out of the tunnel openings to plant bombs, set up explosive
traps, and fire anti-tank missiles at our armored vehicles, then disappear into
the tunnels again. The army has no quick solution to fight against Hamas, most
of whose members are hiding in the tunnels."
Dan Halutz, a former Israeli chief of staff, was quoted as saying on 26 December
that Israel "lost the war against Hamas and Netanyahu needs to be ousted."
