Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited a military outpost in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, reaffirming his commitment to disarm Hamas and demilitarize the enclave. The visit, reported by the prime minister's office, included an operational meeting with IDF Chief of Staff -Gen. Eyal Zamir and other senior commanders.

Netanyahu: 'We control 60% of the Strip'

Speaking from the outpost, Netanyahu said, "We control 60% of the Strip, and there is more to come because we are eliminating the terrorists who threaten us. We are doing that day in and day out." He also said, "We control the area, and we remain on this line," referring to the Yellow Line, and stressed that Israeli troops do not intend to withdraw from that position.

The prime minister was accompanied by IDF Southern Command chief -Gen. Yaniv Asor and 7th Armored Brigade commander Col. Elad Zuri, whom he referred to, along with the soldiers present, as "heroic."

Goal of eliminating Gaza threat 'largely achieved'

Netanyahu said Israel is working to disarm Hamas and demilitarize Gaza, adding that the Gaza Strip will "no longer pose a threat to Israel." He noted that the goal has "been achieved to a large extent," but acknowledged, "There is more work to complete - and we will complete it."

Capture of Hamas internal security chief

During the visit, Netanyahu said the IDF recently captured the head of Hamas's internal security, stating that Israel will "surely learn a few things" from him. The capture was carried out in a joint operation by the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), according to a joint statement. The Jerusalem Post reported that the operation was the first high-level capture deep in the Gaza Strip in a long time, and that anti-Hamas Gaza gangs were deeply involved in the operation.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the mastheads we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
