What happened to “we dismantled Hamas in Northern Gaza and are completely in charge”?

Hamas is actually not a group of people. It's a fungus that grows only in hospitals. The Hamas fungus can be eradicated by drowning it in the blood of innocent Palestinian civilians.

That's utterly false and ridiculous.

It also grows in schools, refugee centers, and apartment buildings.

Actually Hammas is spread by contact. If you touched someone who lived next door to someone who's family dog was given to them by someone who had a family member join Hamas, then you become Hamas too.

The only way to innoculate yourself against this pathogen is by loudly and vigorously condemning Hamas for at least two minutes a day.

It should however be noted that condemning Hamas, and having absolutely no affiliation with any of their members provides no protection against Israeli forces mistaking you for a Hamas fighter and subsequently shooting/bombing/starving you to death.

At his press conference, Hagari said that battles and sporadic rocket fire could still occur in northern Gaza, but the terror group’s infrastructure was out of action and could no longer carry out large-scale attacks.
