Preparing for ⁣the “Next Phase of the War”: Hamas Regains Strength in Gaza

Islamist ⁣Hamas is reportedly ‌regaining strength in the Gaza Strip,⁣ particularly in the northern region, following⁤ over eleven months of war. According to Israeli TV station Kan, the terrorist organization is recovering faster than the Israeli ‍armed forces can weaken Hamas’ military capabilities. The Israeli army has not advanced into the northern Gaza Strip for months,⁤ allowing Hamas to regroup and prepare for “the next phase of the ‍war.”

Israeli Attacks on Hamas Command Centers

The sudden increase⁢ in ‌Israeli attacks on Hamas⁢ command and control centers in the northern Gaza Strip is attributed ⁣to Hamas’ resurgence. On Sunday, the Israeli Air Force attacked a pre-school ⁤in the northern Gaza ‍Strip, where Hamas had established a command ⁤and control center. The army reported that rocket attacks ⁣on ‌Israeli⁣ targets had been carried out from the​ location in ⁢recent weeks.

Measures to‍ Reduce Civilian Casualties

Before the attack,‍ measures were taken to reduce the danger to civilians, according to the Israeli army. Palestinian eyewitnesses reported that the⁤ army initially fired a single rocket,⁤ apparently aiming to force refugees to leave the building.

Recent Attacks on⁤ Hamas⁢ Targets

A few days earlier, many people were killed ⁣in an attack on an old school​ building, which Israel claimed ⁣was a ⁢Hamas control center. The Israeli army has⁢ been targeting Hamas command and⁣ control centers in an effort to weaken the terrorist organization’s military capabilities.
