IDF Claims Control of 60% of Gaza, Says Hamas Can No Longer Invade

A senior Israeli officer says the IDF now holds more than 60% of the Gaza Strip, surpassing the territory allowed under the October 2025 ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The Central Command chief described a fortified security zone along the Gaza border and declared that a repeat of a large-scale Hamas invasion is “no longer possible.” He cautioned, however, that Hamas still controls its areas in Gaza, retains some operational capabilities, and maintains its vision to destroy Israel. At the start of the truce, Israel held about 53% of the territory, with Hamas in control of the remainder where nearly two million Palestinians live.

With the IDF claiming over 60% control of Gaza, do you think the ceasefire terms are still enforceable by either side?

I'm curious—how might controlling over half the area impact each side's capacity to oversee and enforce ceasefire terms?

They claim over 60% control, yet reports still mention flashpoints and tunnels where Hamas fighters could remain active.

Holding territory on paper doesn't guarantee security. Ground realities and civilian displacement often complicate such sweeping announcements.

Aid organizations and mediators should push for clear buffer zones and civilian safe routes as military advances reshape Gaza's landscape.
