Hamas denies Israel is making big military gains in Gaza city

Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamad, speaking on Tuesday (November 7) from Beirut, denied that Israeli forces were making any significant military gains or that they had advanced deep into Gaza City.

“They never give the people the truth,” Hamad said. He added that numerous Israeli soldiers were killed on Monday and “many tanks were destroyed.” “The Palestinians fight and fight and fight against Israel, until we end the occupation,” said Hamad, who left Gaza days before the attack.

Israel's military says it has killed thousands of Hamas fighters in the month-long war. The Associated Press could not independently verify the claims of either side.
