New York Times: Israel is not close to destroying Hamas
An American newspaper, quoting the country's intelligence officials, reported that Israel has not come close to destroying Hamas in its war in Gaza. |
According to the report of Fars International News Agency, The New York Times, citing American intelligence officials, reported that the latest assessments indicate that Israel has weakened Hamas, but is still not close to its goal of eliminating it.
American officials have said that there are serious doubts about the reality of Netanyahu’s goal to destroy Hamas.
These officials have said that weakening the combat capabilities of Hamas seems more realistic than eliminating this group.
Israel has determined the release of prisoners from Gaza and the destruction of Hamas as its war goals in Gaza. Despite this, the realization of both of these goals has reached a dead end.
The New York Times newspaper reported a few weeks ago that a number of senior commanders of the Israeli army have now come to the conclusion that achieving both goals at the same time is not possible and any long-term plan to destroy Hamas is inevitable. It will lead to the death of prisoners.
Furthermore, many analysts have questioned the possibility of the complete destruction of Hamas even in occupied Palestine. “Gadi Eisenkot”, one of the former officials of the Israeli army, who is currently a member of Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet, in an interview a few weeks ago, described the promises of the Israeli authorities for the complete destruction of Hamas as “storytelling”.
“Ehud Olmert”, the former prime minister of the Zionist regime, also wrote in a note in Haaretz newspaper some time ago that Netanyahu himself knows that he is not able to eliminate Hamas.
Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, on the 7th of October (15th of October), in response to more than seven decades of occupation of Palestine and nearly two decades of siege of Gaza and imprisonment and torture of thousands of Palestinians, started the operation known as “Al-Aqsa Storm” .
This operation was one of the deadliest attacks against this regime. Hamas fighters penetrated into the occupied territories through the border fences at several points, attacked the villages and besides killing a large number of Israelis, captured a number of them. Reports indicate that Hamas is currently holding 136 Israeli prisoners in Gaza.
In response to this operation, the Zionist regime launched heavy attacks against Gaza and placed this area under siege. put full Nearly 28,000 Palestinians have been martyred so far in Israeli attacks in Gaza. Despite this, as analysts say, the al-Aqsa operation has imposed a major security-political defeat on Israel.
