Aug 5, 2024, 08:15 PM

A recent CNN investigation reveals that nearly half of Hamas' military battalions in northern and central Gaza have rebuilt some of their fighting capabilities despite more than nine months of Israel's brutal offensive. The report indicates that only three of Hamas' 24 battalions have been destroyed by Israel's military actions. The resurgence of Hamas' forces in the battered north of the Gaza Strip has been noted, with military experts commenting on the heavy-handed bombardment by Israel. The findings, supported by analyses from the American Enterprise Institute, highlight a significant challenge to Israeli claims of imminent victory over Hamas.
