Hamas Remains Strong Despite Sinwar's Likely Death | JQJO

Despite the likely assassination of Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar on May 13, the IDF reports Hamas remains a significant threat. The IDF's strategy has shifted to attrition, targeting remaining fighters and controlling Gaza's resources to weaken Hamas's influence. While Hamas's rocket capabilities and organized fighting forces have been significantly diminished, the group's extensive tunnel network and dispersed fighters embedded within the civilian population present ongoing challenges. The IDF acknowledges Hamas retains the ability to coordinate the hostage situation, its primary leverage against Israel.
