Israel's ongoing conflict with Hamas is expected to extend until the end of the year, according to a top Israeli official. The war, now in its eighth month, has resulted in significant casualties, heightened Israel's global isolation, and repeatedly brought the region to the brink of a larger conflict.
National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi stated that the fighting is anticipated to last another seven months to dismantle the military and governing capabilities of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The military's objective is to continue operations until 2024 as a year of war.
