The Chief of General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Herzi Halevi, has announced that Israel will resume fighting in Gaza once the hostages covered by the current deal are safely returned.

Halevi conveyed this message in a letter addressed to all Israel Defense Forces (IDF) commanders and soldiers as the fragile truce between Israel and Hamas entered its third day.

“When the framework (of the current truce deal) is completed, we will return to our operations with determination,” Halevi wrote.

He said the fighting would continue until all approximately 240 hostages kidnapped by Hamas were freed and Hamas itself was “dismantled.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed in a statement that it received a list from Hamas, detailing the hostages expected to be released on Sunday night in the third round of the swap. In return, Israel is expected to release additional Palestinian prisoners.

According to Israeli figures, about 1,200 people were killed and about 240 others were held as hostages during the Hamas attacks on southern Israel that triggered the conflict.
