The first goal — the “elimination of Hamas” — began with a declaration of war the day after the militant group’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel that killed approximately 1,200 people.
The second goal was to destroy the tunnels
The command structure remains largely intact, as does its ability”It’s clear that Hamas has control over many of the tunnels and can still surprise the Israeli soldiers with attacks.”
“It doesn’t matter if the Israelis manage to denigrate 60 per cent or 90 per cent of Hamas. For Hamas a victory is just to stand on its feet at the end of the battle.”
“If the Israelis want to destroy the tunnels, they can try from the air, which is complicated. Or they can put in explosives. But Israelis do not want to go into the tunnels to fight Hamas because if they do, they lose their advantages — they do not have air support, they don’t have tank support. Therefore, the soldiers do not want to go,” Bregman told CBC News.
The Third Goal-free the hostages=Returning the hostages is another often repeated but as yet only partially fulfilled Israeli war goal.
