Israel inflicting major damage on Hamas in new Gaza offensive

The Israeli war in Gaza continued in its full force last week after the breakup of a two -month break of fire and the downtime in negotiations over the release of the remaining hostages. Israeli defense forces (IDF) launched a new wave of air attacks, which were quickly accompanied by coordinated ground -floor operations in three key areas: Netzari corridorThe northern coast of Gaza and Rafah County in the south.

With expanded American support and favorable shifts in the regional landscape, this next phase signals significant evolution in the military goals of Israeli Israeli, from the degradation of Hamas’s battlefield abilities to the removal of his management ability.

“We’re struggling with them for 10 days,” General General Yaakov Amimidr (Res.), The former Israeli National Security Advisor. “All they were able to do was fire seven rockets. It tells you how much damage we have done before.”

The senior Israeli security officer told Fox News Digital: “We seized weapons cache, laboratory and command centers. Hamas does not function as an army today. It is a dangerous terrorist group, but not what was October 7th.”

According to Israeli data, most of Hamas’s older commands are eliminated and only fragmented units remain.

“They lost experienced leadership,” the clerk said. “They work in survival mode.”

This time, Israel operates in dramatically improved conditions, both military and diplomatically.

“The strategic environment has changed,” Amidror told Fox News Digital. “Hezbollah is weaker, Iran is limited, and the American administration provides us with true support. They do not tell us where to bomb or how to fight.”

With less threats on other fronts and a strong substrate than Trump administrationIDF has expanded its scope to involve Hamas’s political leadership.

“We no longer humiliate military skills,” Amidror said. “We are dismantling the structure that allowed Hamas to manage.”

During a break in the fight, Hamas consolidated control of humanitarian aid, seizing supplies, reselling the goods and using them to hire fighters and maintain loyalty. Israeli officials now say that they will not be allowed to continue.

“We are working to find the solution so that humanitarian aid reaches civilians and that Hamas is not armed,” explained the high -safety safety official. He noted that Gaza currently has enough food reserves and that Israel develops new delivery mechanisms that completely bypass Hamas.

The fifty -nine of the Slats of Israeli remains in Hamas captive. Their continuous custody caused protests throughout the country, and the families begged the government to agree on the priority of negotiating the negotiating release. But the renovated struggle puts these hostages at greater danger.

“The only real limit is hostages,” Amidror admitted. “We want to live them, and the fight against war while trying to protect them is a huge challenge.”

“My view is that we must first bring back hostages, even if we need to commit ourselves to end the war and withdraw to the security perimeter,” said Ram Ben Barak, former deputy chief of Mossad and an current member of Knesset. “We can commit to it, but only if Hamas returns to all hostages. If they do not, this is just a reason to go back to war. Even if Hamas returns them, we will watch. If Hamas starts smuggling the weapons or training fighters, that will also be a reason to enter and hit them strongly.”

A security official said military pressure It is part of the coordinated effort to take hostages home.

“They released a group of hostages earlier than planned because of the pressure we applied in Netzarim when they refused to release Arbel Yehud,” he said.

Despite tactical gains, Israeli leaders know that war cannot eliminate Hamas’ ideology. The mission, they say, is to prevent it from ever gaining gauze again.

More help should go into the gaza belt. Why not help?

“We will not return to the days when we allow them to build a quiet army,” Ben Barak told Fox News Digital. “We will attack every time we see military training or smuggling weapons. He will never have tanks or armored vehicles again.”

Ben Barak said that Israel cannot stay in Gaza in the long run: “If we stay as we did in Lebanon for 19 years, we will leave the shame. The only way to win is that someone else replaces Hamas and manage Gaza.”

He also pointed to the West Coast as a partial model: “On the western coast, the Palestinian administration government, and we operate from the perimeter when necessary. We need the same in Gaza: an internationally supported civilian authority. [Gaza] Squeeze and hold Hamas. “

Still, he warned against the illusion of peace.

“There will be no peace in the next 20 years. But as Egypt with the Muslim Brotherhood did, we can suppress Hamas’ ideology and prevent it from re -rooted.”

Said Ben Barak too Gazani who want to leave It should be allowed, “Let them go. If they have visas and want to go, Israel should let them go. This will ease military operations in a less densely populated area.”

Israeli forces are now deeply built into Gaza, with simultaneous operations in the north, south and central regions.

“These are not symbolic moves,” Amidror said. “We invite ourselves for the next phase. In the end, we will have to get to every tunnel, develop an infrastructure and kill every Hamas terrorist. This is achievable, but it will take at least a year.”
