Those tunnels will allow Hamas to survive and reconstitute once the fighting stops, current and former U.S. officials say.\ud83d\udd36\ufe0f<\/b><\/i> \u201cPalestinian resistance to Israel, manifested by Hamas and other militant groups, is an idea as much as it is a physical, tangible group of people,\u201d said Douglas London, a retired C.I.A. officer who spent 34 years at the agency. \u201cSo for as much damage Israel might have inflicted on Hamas, it still has capability, resilience, funding and a long line of people most likely waiting to sign up and join after all the fighting and all the destruction and all the loss of life.\u201d\ud83d\udd36\ufe0f<\/b><\/i> In an annual intelligence assessment released in March, American spy agencies expressed doubts about Israel\u2019s ability to truly destroy Hamas, which the United States has designated a terrorist group.\ud83d\udd36\ufe0f<\/b><\/i> \u201cIsrael probably will face lingering armed resistance from Hamas for years to come,\u201d the report said, \u201cand the military will struggle to neutralize Hamas\u2019s underground infrastructure, which allows insurgents to hide, regain strength and surprise Israeli forces.\u201d\ud83d\udd36\ufe0f<\/b><\/i> After six intense months, the war has come down to Rafah.https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/04\/22\/us\/politics\/israel-gaza-hamas-war.html<\/a>https:\/\/archive.ph\/sXSNk<\/a><\/div>\n\n \n
