On October 7, 2023, the Jews began launching aggressive attacks on Gaza in the name of eliminating Hamas, which rules Gaza. This was in response to jihadi attacks carried out by Hamas mujahideen targeting the Zionists that day. It was an attack by Hamas mujahideen who could no longer tolerate Jewish slavery and colonial rule. That day, Hamas took about 250 people affiliated with the Jews as hostages.
In the attacks that the Jews continuously launched on Gaza for 15 months, more than 61,000 citizens of Gaza have been martyred. While innocent children and women were being slaughtered in the state of war, Hamas continued to stand firm without agreeing to the conditions of the Jews. As a result, on January 19 this year, the Jews were forced to establish a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. Under that agreement, some Jewish-affiliated captives under Hamas custody were released in exchange for many Palestinian citizens in Jewish prisons.
When the first phase of the ceasefire agreement came to an end, the Jews refused to move to the second phase and again began launching powerful aggressive attacks targeting Gaza. In those attacks, more than 700 people in Gaza have been martyred so far, including Gaza’s governing leader Ismail Haniyeh, internal security chief Mahmoud Abu Watfa, and other senior government officials. In response to the ongoing attacks on Gaza, Hamas has launched an air attack targeting the Jewish capital Tel Aviv, causing major damage to the Jews. Although the Jews continue to martyr Hamas leaders, Hamas is demonstrating that despite suffering great losses, they still have the capability to wage strong war and govern Gaza.
During last October, when Hamas political wing leader Yahya Sinwar was martyred, Hamas made changes to the organization’s leadership. Reducing reliance on a single leader, a special council is now more active in planning and executing Hamas operations. Although Hamas’s rocket and other weapons have decreased during the war, Hamas has strengthened attacks on Jews in other ways. Both Hamas’s governing branch and military wing have started using humans to relay messages that need to be sent from one place to another, instead of using internet and radio devices. This is to avoid the eyes and ears of spies.
The main purpose of the attacks that the Jews are currently launching on Gaza is to weaken Hamas’s rule in Gaza. The only response Hamas has given so far to these attacks is the two or three missiles launched targeting Tel Aviv. Hamas previously said they were not responding to the ongoing attacks on Gaza in order to give countries working to renew the ceasefireew the ceasefire agreement an opportunity to achieve that. Now it is believed that this is more likely not to happen than to happen.
As signs emerge that the Gaza war is about to restart, one of the most important questions at this juncture is to what extent Hamas can withstand the attacks by Jews on Gaza. Only then can we estimate what will happen to Gaza in the attacks and how long they will last. The tyrannical Jewish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly stated that the Jews will eliminate Hamas. He has threatened to destroy both Hamas’s governing branch and military wing. However, war experts say that although Hamas has been weakened, it is still a very strong and dangerous organization for the Jews.
Sources have also spoken about how Haniyeh behaved during the state of war. Despite the Jews’ powerful attacks, Haniyeh continued to hold meetings, appoint people to positions to positions, arrange salaries for those who needed to be paid, and provide security for aid supplies being transported from one area to another in Gaza. This also shows the extent of Hamas’s power that still exists in Gaza, even in such a chaotic and dangerous situation. Even Jewish experts themselves acknowledge this.
Ismail al-Thawabta, who worked as the head of Haniyeh’s office, said that even in the state of war, Haniyeh continued to work without hesitation. He said Haniyeh moved secretly from place to place, overseeing and coordinating things, and that Haniyeh traveled by both boat and on foot. Al-Thawabta said that Haniyeh and his office delivered the salaries of government employees in different areas of Gaza directly to their hands, even as Jewish attacks continued.
In the weeks before establishing the ceasefire agreement on January 19, Hamas had killed a large number of Jewish soldiers. Those were the strongest attacks Hamas had launched in the state of war. Those attacks were carried out as direct attacks by Hamas mujahideen instead of using rocket missiles. As Jewish forces are again advancing into Gaza by land, experts analyzing the situation believe that when soldiers enter Gaza, there will be exchanges of attacks with the mujahideen, and many Jewish soldiers will die in those attacks.
The Jews believe that Hamas has been greatly weakened in the aggressive attacks launched on Gaza. The Jews say that Hamas’s weapons and soldiers have also been greatly reduced. Although the Jews claimed that more than 20,000 Hamas fighters have been martyred, Hamas denies this. Jewish experts have also noted that new mujahideen are joining the organization to replace Hamas fighters who are lost. Although routes for Hamas to import weapons have been blocked and Jewish attacks have targeted weapons manufacturing centers in Gaza, Hamas continues to produce weapons and threaten the Jews using unexploded ordnance.
