Snip:
The military wing of Hamas, the al-Qassam Brigades, announced that its fighters launched a surprise attack on Israeli forces southeast of Khan Yunis on Wednesday morning. According to the group, the fighters destroyed tanks, struck Israeli positions with mortars and explosive devices, and engaged soldiers in close-range combat inside residential buildings. A sniper also reportedly killed a Merkava 4 tank commander during the raid.
Retired Israeli major general Israel Ziv admitted in an interview on 103FM that the movement is reorganizing and regaining initiative.
“What we are seeing before our eyes is a new Hamas, a Hamas that is recovering. Hamas is reorganizing like it began—as a guerrilla organization,” he said, Maariv reported on Thursday.
His remarks echoed earlier warnings by retired major general Yitzhak Brik, who wrote in July that Hamas had already rebuilt to its pre-war strength. “Hamas now numbers about 40,000 resistance fighters, similar to its strength before the aggression began,” Brik wrote, adding that Israel’s soldiers face a “grim” reality.
I’m not a political expert but if you eliminated Hamas but killed my whole family in the process my first move would be to start Hamas 2
If Hamas has a billion supporters, I am one of them. If they have ten supporters, I am one of them. If they have one supporter, it is me. If they have no supporters, i am dead
If Hamas is so great, why isn’t there a Hamas 2?
May a million more Hamases rise up against the Zionist entity.
It seems counterproductive to try to defeat the war orphan org by creating tons of new war orphans

I really, really hope this is true. It’s believable.
Entirely believable. If you’re experiencing genocide, what are you going to do? Just let you and everyone you love be killed? No, you’re gonna fight back. Of course Al Qassam recruitment has been doing well.
Aka
Not to mention, during a genocide, it becomes necessary to arm every person part of the group being genocided. If the Israelis kill all the adults in Palestine, where does that leave the children? If the Israelis show they’re okay with murdering babies and toddlers with guns and knives, what other option is there?
In the face of such depravity, the only solution is for every person to fight because it’s all or nothing.
a new Hamas
smh, won’t finish the old Hamas and already got a new one.
I am sure this is at least somewhat true, but this reads as pretext for the upcoming escalation in the Gaza occupation and the somehow-worse slaughter they will commit.
I wonder if Hamas is actually constrained more by limits on equipment quantity and ability to train new fighters. Because I have to imagine there’s quite a lot of Gazans who want to take up arms against the entity and feel they have nothing to lose.
It would not surprise me if the fighters are mostly sent out of country for training. With the very close quarters fighting and just incredibly gutsy ambushes they constantly successfully pull off, they can’t afford to have green troops trying to learn on the job and getting an entire assault or ambush team killed.
new Hamas is Khamas
