Israel’s military effort to destroy Hamas is doomed to fail.
There are simply too many Gazans willing to join Hamas. If the Israeli army wiped out all of them, there would be worldwide condemnation
There are an estimated 2.1 million people living in the Gaza Strip. Before October 2023, Hamas had an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 fighters in its military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades.
Hamas estimates between 6,000 and 7,000 members of its military wing have been killed in two years of war. Israeli and other estimates range from 8,500 militants killed (the Armed Conflict and Event Data Project) to 20,000 killed with 15,000 remaining, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
