The actual quote from the Reuters article:
A Hamas official based in Qatar told Reuters that the group estimated it had lost 6,000 fighters during the four-month-old conflict, half the 12,000 Israel says it has killed.
Gaza’s ruling group can keep fighting and is prepared for a long war in Rafah and Gaza, said the official, who requested anonymity.
“Netanyahu’s options are difficult and ours are too. He can occupy Gaza but Hamas is still standing and fighting. He hasn’t achieved his goals to kill the Hamas leadership or annihilate Hamas,” he added.
Since this is a completely unattributed anonymous quote, I’m not sure how reliable it is.
So the IDF killed like 20,000+ civilians to kill 6,000 militants. Monstrous.
“Game over”?
Can you think of a more disrespectful way to address this situation? Imagine gamifying literal genocide.
pretty sure you can edit the title very simply to avoid this entirely, try the end, or similar
Israel has literally displaced millions of people, and pretty much anybody living in Gaza has lost some relatives at this point. I can’t imagine that Hamas will have a lack of volunteers going forward. The reality is that Hamas has been preparing for this sort of conflict for many years, and so far there is no indication that Israel managed to make any strategic gains in Gaza. All they’ve accomplished was to massacre tends of thousands of civilians, displace millions of people, and create a massive humanitarian crisis.
Hamas is a small militia fighting against one of the most brutal, sophisticated army in the world , still kicking their ass hard. But yeah without external help they can’t win.
