Breitbart ^ | 06/07/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Half of all the Hamas terrorists in Gaza have been killed during the war, according to Reuters, citing U.S. officials Thursday, and most of the remaining ones are holed up in the town of Rafah, where Israel has been advancing slowly.

Reuters reported:

Hamas has seen about half its forces wiped out in eight months of war and is relying on hit-and-run insurgent tactics to frustrate Israel’s attempts to take control of Gaza, U.S. and Israeli officials told Reuters.

The enclave’s ruling group has been reduced to between 9,000 and 12,000 fighters, according to three senior U.S. officials familiar with battlefield developments, down from American estimates, opens new tab of 20,000-25,000 before the conflict. By contrast, Israel says it has lost almost 300 troops in the Gaza campaign.

Israel estimates that it has killed roughly 15,000 Hamas terrorists, which falls within the range of U.S. estimates.

Starting to get the impression that casualty quotes are as unreliable there as in Ukraine. The MSM is completely unreliable.

A difficulty at the onset is how they define “terrorist”.

If we learned one lesson from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, etc... it’s that once these 7000 terrorists are eliminated, the problem will be completely solved. It is inconceivable that the surviving relatives of the civilians killed will want to engage in violence against the people who killed them.

Razing Rafah should put a nice little bow on this whole affair and we can move on with our lives.

I doubt there are only 7,000 left. They may not actually be called Hamas, may not even be men, but there are many many more people from Gaza/West Bank who didn’t like Israel or US or the West prior to Oct 7th and still don’t. maybe not active terrorist, but their mind set is not peace, or even pretend peace.

Oh but you must remember Mohammed's promise to his followers, that anyone who died while fighting "in the way of allah" would go straight to paradise. Pretty good incentive, and you get dozens of beautiful virgins and a golden mansion beside a river of wine.

Of course. I was being sarcastic.

Something tells me that after these 1st world European imports into the middle east use American weapons to kill the last 7000 “terrorists” (along with another 10K women and children) the problem is not going to go away. Something also tells me that my children and grandchildren are going to pay the price for them securing their ethno-state.
