IDF Warning: Hamas Is Rebuilding for Renewed Gaza War

Senior officers in Military Intelligence and Southern Command warned Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir last week that Hamas is using the lull in Gaza to rebuild for another round of war. The terror organization is producing hundreds of explosive devices and anti-tank missiles each month, recruiting young fighters, reopening Nukhba training, rebuilding tunnels and smuggling drones, communications gear and raw materials from Sinai. The officers reportedly warned that Israel should renew operations to prevent Hamas from regrouping, while Washington has ruled out a broad renewed Israeli campaign. The warning underlines Israel's need to preserve military initiative and prevent Hamas from turning humanitarian pauses into rearmament time.
