Israel has been targeting its strikes and persistently warning Palestinians in Gaza not to return to targeted areas. Its operations are made more difficult by the fact that Hamas uses its people as human shields, hiding in the most populated areas. The revelation that only 30-35% of Hamas jihadists have been eliminated is disturbing, but it shows how much restraint Israel has actually used.

The news also demonstrates how critical it is for Israel to continue its war against Hamas and eliminate it entirely. Global pressure should be on Hamas to surrender, not on Israel for protecting its own citizens and country.
“Only 30-35% of Hamas terrorists have been eliminated – report,” Jerusalem Post, May 22, 2024:
Israel has eliminated only 30-35% of the Hamas terrorists who were part of the terror organization prior to the October 7 attack, according to a Politico report on Wednesday, citing US intelligence….
“US intelligence: Israel has killed only 30-35 percent of Hamas militants since October,” Nova News, May 22, 2024:
US intelligence indicates that only 30-35 percent of the militants of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas have been killed since October 7, when the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched the military operation in the Gaza Strip, after Hamas’s attack on the Jewish state. This was reported by the US portal “Politico”.
According to US intelligence, about 65 percent of the terrorist group’s tunnels are still intact. “Politico” claims that according to US officials, Hamas has recruited thousands of new militiamen in recent months. According to unverifiable data released by the Hamas Ministry of Health, over 7 people have been killed in Gaza since October 35.
Hamas’ count does not separate the number of civilian deaths from the militants. On May 8, the UN agency Ocha published a review of data relating to deaths and injuries in Gaza, saying that only 24.686 deaths could be specifically identified (or confirmed)….

Some genocide! If Israel were really so “genocidal,” they could have killed 100 percent of the HamAss terrorists within a fortnight, whilst showing no regard for civilian casualties. However, they (the Israelis) have some good moral principles unlike the utterly amoral HamAsses.
Barney says
And so the other side of this fact is that perhaps the IDF has been significantly less successful than previously suggested. Or perhaps this is intended to fool the opposition into believing this.

Hard to be overly effective in the battle field when you have to notify the enemy in advance of your attacks on their positions. Liberals don’t win wars they just pro-long them.
somehistory says
All true, OLD GUY.
They send out leaflets, make phone calls telling the people in gaza what they are going to do, where and when they will do it.
The members of hamas….thousands upon thousands of mozlums….get the same warnings and beat it out of town.
And still, hamas and supporters claim ‘genocide.’

Islam is the most evil entity on earth, it has corrupted the hearts and minds of every Muslim to the very core. The world should target every mosque and imam.
Keep going Israel.

“over 7 people have been killed in Gaza since October 35 ” . ????????? October has 30 days so October 35 is not possible I would say , and yes , over 7 people have been killed , that’s right , thousands I would say . Date and numbers are wrong !
Chuck Brand says
October 35??
Walter Sieruk says
Well, at least that’s 30 to 35% of those jihadists of Hamas that are no longer able to murder unarmed peaceful Israeli citizens, including infants and children in many cruel and vicious ways .Likewise that’s 30-35% of those Hamas jihadist that have been eliminated, so they can’t further continue to kidnap then rape and torture and then murder girls and young Jewish women.
This may be explained in a different than above, it’s been rightly said that “Those jihadists of Hamas that are so active in their underground tunnels are very comparable to mole rats” Therefore, that Jerusalem news report , in essence ,revealed the 30-35 % of the mole rats that had infested Gaza have now been exterminated.

To say Israel is hamstrung is to state the obvious. They have that morality of war that arabs, gazans do not at all follow, but they the arabs muslims will scream about genocide when they themselves call for it, and perform massacres not just in Israel but around the globe wherever they fight. That Israel has to notify everyone in gaza where they’re going to be allows hamas murderers to weasel out of the area. That is the fact and it has cost Israeli lives and israeli wounded. Israel won’t be allowed to finish off hamas except maybe to make it appear as if they did. What a scam. What a shame the west has become and now it will be right here in our own lands because of all this self deception disorder.

Great line.

Yes–all projection.
Cato the Elder says
At this point I would not ask for Hamas to surrender, as they could then be used as bargaining chips for hostages exchanges in the future.
It’s better if they were all eliminated.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
The conclusion from this is that only 35% of Hamas are in Gaza. The other 70% are either in the West Bank, or other Arab countries like Qatar, Jordan, Yemen, et al
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Sorry, 65%. My arithmetic ?
