Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed Monday evening that 4,000 of the roughly 6,000 terrorists who invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, have been killed, with 2,000 still being pursued. Katz vowed to hunt down every remaining participant, calling it a duty to the victims. "We will pursue and eliminate all of them — from the senior ranks to the junior ranks," he said.
The figures were first presented Sunday night by Military Intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder during a security cabinet meeting. As The Zioneer reported Monday morning, Binder told ministers that 4,000 of approximately 6,000 terrorists who breached the border on October 7 have been eliminated, and the intelligence manhunt for the remaining 2,000 continues. Katz publicly reiterated the numbers and stated that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have instructed the IDF and all security agencies to eliminate every participant in the massacre.
The October 7, 2023 attack, perpetrated by Hamas and allied terror factions, remains the deadliest assault on Jews since the Holocaust. Israeli security forces have made the elimination of all participants a top priority. The Shin Bet's Nili unit is leading the effort to track down the remaining terrorists, as The Zioneer previously reported.
The precise locations and current status of the remaining 2,000 terrorists have not been disclosed. Israeli officials have not provided a timeline for completing the manhunt.
