Intelligence Expert's Warning: Hamas Is Strengthening
Rafael Hayon, who warned before the October 7 attack, cautions that Hamas continues to smuggle weapons, bring drones into the Strip, and recruit new terrorists, despite the ongoing fighting.
Assessment
An intelligence expert who previously warned about the October 7 attack is now cautioning that Hamas is actively rebuilding its military capabilities despite ongoing fighting. The assessment points to weapons smuggling, drone infiltration into Gaza, and recruitment of new operatives as signs of organizational resilience. This raises questions about whether current military operations are effectively degrading Hamas's long-term capacity.
