According to Politico, the majority of fighters who were members of the Palestinian movement prior to the 7 October attack in southern Israel are still alive, even as the death toll in Gaza has reached over 35,000 dead, mostly women and children.
In addition, around 65 percent of Hamas’ tunnel infrastructure remains intact, Politico’s sources said, and THOUSANDS of new members are said to have been recruited to the group in recent months.
The report comes as Washington has become increasingly concerned about the viability of Israel’s stated aim of destroying the Palestinian group.
