Prof. Kobi Michael: Today’s Hamas is not the Hamas of Yahya Sinwar. I am not sure they even have control over their own people, let alone the other organizations operating in Gaza. At its core, Hamas is skilled at manipulating the Israeli side, and we must anticipate such actions and not allow them to toy with us. We must respond immediately when we detect the first manipulation.
We also have to assume that Hamas will make every possible effort to rebuild their military capabilities, and we must strengthen our capacities from an intelligence standpoint.
