Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday called on Hamas members to lay down their arms and surrender as the IDF continues to make gains within the Gaza Strip.
"In recent days, dozens of Hamas terrorists have surrendered to our forces. They are laying down their arms and surrendering themselves to our heroic soldiers. It will take more time, the war is at its peak, but this is the beginning of the end for Hamas," he said.
"I say to the Hamas terrorists: It's over. Don't die for Sinwar. Surrender - now."
Yahya Sinwar assumed the role of Hamas leader in Gaza in 2017.
