Misconceptions about the War and Hamas in Gaza and military tactics
Hamas is not a discreet military entity but part of a larger regional security framework involving Iran, Houthis, Hezbollah, and Shia militias. The war Israel is pursuing in Gaza is a conventional form of war that has historically led to victories. Counter-insurgency or counter-terrorism would result in a decade-long military occupation of Gaza. At the start of the war, there were 35,000 deeply embedded Hamas members in Gaza who could utilize a fortified tunnel network.
