Hamas is reportedly facing its worst crisis since its 1987 founding, struggling with severe financial difficulties and declining public support, particularly in Gaza. The group is struggling to pay salaries for civil servants and its military wing, with reports of widespread discontent. Operations in the West Bank are also hampered by crackdowns, while Lebanon presents additional financial pressures. Despite these challenges, Hamas maintains its military wing's operational capacity and anticipates recovery after the current conflict.
