Hamas has not "been wiped"; they have more members than before October 7th.


> Hamas [has] more members than before October 7th

I'm skeptical of this; any source?


Do they have much in the way of military capability right now? They could have a full two million committed members, and that might be a serious long term strategic issue for Israel, but the actual immediate threat might be nominal.


some yes. left over weapon. they can booby trap buildings, attach explosives to apc/tanks. maybe some rpg. Occasional rocket info Israel. A bunch of undiscovered tunnels

but now after their command was wiped out and they can't sell aid, they have serious financial problems (they need to pay their fighters. it's very transactional).

but in case idf will leave gaza, they will have enough power to dominate the strip.


I hope their new members are midwit western university students not capable of speaking fluent Arabic while extinguishing your consciousness.
