Hamas has lost the ability to carry out large-scale terrorist infiltrations, and a repetition of the October 7 events is impossible under current conditions. This was stated to military personnel by the commander of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Central Command, Major General Avi Bluth.
The senior military official made this statement on July 15, 2026, during a ceremony for the change of command of the 99th Reserve Division, which took place near the border with the Gaza Strip.
