Deep dives
Israeli Military Operations in Gaza and Lebanon
Israeli forces recently uncovered and demolished a hidden weapons manufacturing plant operated by Hamas in central Gaza, an area that has been subject to extensive military operations. While the site was not active or operational at the time of discovery, its existence signifies that Hamas could potentially rebuild if Israel were to withdraw from the region. The killing of a senior Hamas official, Yiz al-Din Kassab, in an airstrike further highlights the diminished military capability of Hamas. Despite the significant losses faced by Hamas, the group still maintains some civil control over areas in Gaza, complicating Israel's objective of fully dismantling their influence.
