Nine months of Israeli air and ground combat operations in Gaza have not defeated Hamas, nor is Israel close to vanquishing the group, Foreign Affairs wrote in an article.
To the contrary, according to the measures that matter, Hamas is stronger today than it was on October 7, the American magazine of international relations and U.S. foreign policy added.
The article noted that Israel has invaded northern and southern Gaza with approximately 40,000 combat troops, forcibly displaced 80 percent of the population, killed over 37,000 people and dropped at least 70,000 tons of bombs on the territory.
It said these bombs surpassed the combined weight of bombs dropped on London, Dresden, and Hamburg in all of World War II.
The Foreign Affairs article, however, said Israel has failed to realize that the carnage and devastation it has unleashed in Gaza has only made Palestinians stronger.
