As the Israel Defense Forces ground offensive rolls on in northern, central and southern Gaza, and most of Hamas’s organized battalions are already dismantled, Hamas is undergoing a significant transformation from a structured terror army to a decentralized guerrilla force.
Hamas has no chance of standing against the IDF’s power on the battlefield, and therefore shifted to guerrilla tactics.
Hamas’ military is no longer able to openly enforce its will on the Palestinian people. Nor can Hamas easily launch rockets, mortars and missiles into Israel.
The IDF’s extensive air cover for ground forces in particular forced Hamas to seek shelter in Gaza’s extensive tunnel network and within supportive civilian populations.
Hamas continues to hide behind civilians, and as its leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, has noted, civilian casualties are “necessary sacrifices” designed to erode support for Israel in the international community.
The IDF is adapting to Hamas’s transformation. The IDF’s goal is not to eliminate every Hamas terrorist, but to dismantle Hamas as a governing regime.
So for the leaders of Hamas (who, I’ve heard, are all rich and live in luxury) the Palestinians are just pawns - expendable cannon fodder.
I guess they know they have them so brainwashed that they’ll willingly sacrifice themselves for the holy cause of destroying the “Satans”.
Castrate Hamas, the PLO and UNWAR, so they won’t reproduce. Fill in the tunnels. Send all the children to Israeli re-education camps.
Eliminate Sinwar and his 5 star hotel dwelling cronies in Qatar.
Also the Hamas slime hiding in the UK under welfare.
Deport pro-palestinian “protesters”, get them out of the UK and western democracies poisoning our laws and values.
Yes, that should be the first official act of every conservative leader who wins the next elections, including Trump - deport every Muslim and illegal alien.
