The conclusion? If you still don’t understand why Israel must aim for the complete destruction of Hamas’s military organization in Gaza, then we have achieved nothing. The lives sacrificed and the hundreds of billions invested in their destruction would be in vain.

Despite the perception that Israel is thoroughly dismantling Hamas’s military capabilities and eliminating its fighters en masse, the reality beneath the surface tells a different story.

Israeli military sources reveal that during the current fighting in Gaza against IDF brigades, Hamas has recruited thousands of new young fighters, established a new generation of field commanders who survived the Israeli war machine, and even managed to provide basic training—all under the noses of our forces.
