In a complete departure from the Israeli narrative, Dan Halutz, a former Israeli military chief, has suggested that Israel is losing against Hamas in the besieged Gaza Strip, Anadolu Agency reports.

He criticized the current Israeli military and political strategy, expressing concerns over the future of Israel in an interview aired on local broadcaster Channel 7.

Halutz said that Israel can only win if it succeeds in destroying Hamas. However so far, it is proving very “difficult” to even dislodge it.
