Israeli news channel N12 reports, citing testimonies from Gaza, that Hamas is reorganizing its forces and asserting control over the area. The claims come amid a series of assessments by Israeli officials and media about Hamas's efforts to rebuild its military capabilities in the Gaza Strip.
The report, published Monday morning by Israeli news channel N12, cites unnamed testimonies from Gaza stating that Hamas is reorganizing its forces and asserting control over the territory. The full article is behind a paywall, but the headline claim is significant given the ongoing security situation.
The report adds to a growing body of assessments by Israeli officials and media about Hamas's efforts to rebuild its military capabilities. As The Zioneer reported on June 29, the IDF assesses that Hamas is recruiting new fighters, restoring command structures, and retraining its elite Nukhba force. A June 24 report cited a source asserting that Hamas is re-establishing rocket launch positions inside the Gaza Strip. Satellite imagery analysis published on June 27 showed what analysts described as 'nibbling' advances by Hamas in the Al-Atatra area north of Beit Lahia and south of Gaza City. The current report, based on direct testimonies from within Gaza, provides a new layer of evidence that Hamas is regaining operational control.
The claims remain unverified by independent sources, and the specific locations or extent of Hamas's control are not detailed in the available excerpt. The report is framed as a continuation of a pattern of regrouping, which Israeli officials have warned about for weeks.
