Gallant's declaration follows his recent visit to the Gaza Strip, signaling heightened efforts by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to apprehend senior Hamas figures, particularly Mohammed Deif and Yahya Sinwar, alleged orchestrators of the October 7 assaults.

These remarks coincide with reports suggesting the presence of several senior Hamas leaders, including Ismael Haniyeh and Khalid Mashel, in Qatar.
