Israeli officers: We did not defeat Hamas in northern Gaza, and eliminating it is far from being achieved. Current and former Israeli officials said that Israeli forces will likely continue to invade northern Gaza to quell the Hamas insurgency for the foreseeable future.
According to an Israeli military intelligence officer, at least 5,000 fighters from the Al-Qassam Brigades are still present in the northern Gaza Strip. Israel is waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, leaving tens of thousands of victims.
