IDF Arabic spokesman says the “East Jabalia Battalion has collapsed,” any claims otherwise are false boasts by Hamas
Hamas officials admitted to Saudi newspaper A-Sharq Al-Awsat that the IDF has neutralized most of its military capabilities and that absent concrete leadership, groups of terrorists are making their own decisions on the ground.
Although terrorists try to inform higher-level Hamas officials of their activities, communication is slow and can often take days or weeks.
Among the surviving Hamas leadership are Mohammed Sinwar, the brother of former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who is reportedly leading the military wing; Izz ad-Din al-Haddad, who is responsible for overseeing terrorist activities in northern Gaza; Mohammed Shabana, the former commander of the now-dismantled Rafah Brigade; and Tawfiq Abu Naim, the head of Hamas’s internal security forces.
