Israel says Gaza war will continue for months

BBC World Service - Newshour, Israel says Gaza war will continue for months

Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza says almost 21,000 Palestinians killed since 7 October

Israel has carried out fresh airstrikes in Gaza where it says it's intensifying its campaign against Hamas.

The head of the Israeli army, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, says the war in Gaza will continue for months. General Halevi told a news conference that while the IDF was close to dismantling all the Hamas battalions in northern Gaza, arresting or eliminating the group's top leaders would take time.

Also in the programme: UN monitors are reported to have observed a significant increase in Iran's production of highly enriched uranium; and Apple has been banned to sell its latest Apple Watch series in the US after President Joe Biden’s administration declined to veto the ban today.
