Commemoration of October 7: one year later, Hamas weakened but not eradicated?
(franceinfo)
A year after the Hamas attack in Israel, the country is launched into a bloody war in Gaza and hopes to eradicate the Palestinian movement there. Although he appears greatly weakened, several thousand fighters would still be active, including the leader.
Before October 7, 2023, Hamas had 30,000 fighters, according to the Israeli army, and more than 15,000 rockets. What about after a year of merciless war? First observation: the Islamist movement hardly launches projectiles at the Hebrew State anymore. In the images of the Israeli army, we can see a seizure of rockets. Experts estimate that there are only around a hundred left. There would remain several thousand active fighters, but isolated from each other. Hamas has blended into the population. Its fighters have exchanged their war clothes for civilian clothes.
As for the leaders of the movement, Israel demands the elimination of dozens of Hamas officials, including the head of the armed wing in Gaza, and the head of the movement’s political office. The leader remains, elusive for the moment. He is apparently still alive, but his room for maneuver is very limited.
