There are so many Gazan jihadis, 200,000, estimated at 10% of the population. Even with the allegedly 40k dead, and another 40k injured … there are still another 40k that must fight it out to the end, taking with them as many IDF soldiers as possible. The resilient jihadis of are predominantly males, ranging from adolescent to the elderly, that are true-blue to the holy-war cause and the elimination of Israelis. Yet there are also women who participate in the jihadi ranks. Eight months is only a start of this war, and it will probably be another twenty-four months of combat between the belligerents. But on a positive note the jihadis do not have to care any longer for four of the hostages that were rescued today and brought home safely to their families in Israel. Slowly but surely the IDF continues to degrade the jihadis and search for the hostages.
