The war lasted for months under the pretext of eliminating Hamas and ending its threat to the occupation state. According to U.S. intelligence reports, Hamas managed to recruit between 10,000 and 15,000 new fighters since the war began, a number roughly equivalent to the fighters it lost during the battles.<\/p>\n<p>Two sources in the U.S. Congress, privy to classified intelligence, revealed these figures, which came as a significant shock to the occupation state and its allies. The sources noted that Hamas&#8217;s ability to recruit this number of fighters in such a short time highlights Israel&#8217;s failure to dismantle the movement&#8217;s organizational infrastructure, enabling it to sustain its long-term threat to the occupation\u2019s security.<\/p>\n<p>The scenes of the release of Palestinian female prisoners, organized by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2024\/01\/29\/al-qassams-defiance-unveiling-israels-warning-system-failure-and-tactical-weakness\/\">Al-Qassam<\/a> Brigades, were shocking to Israelis. They showcased the resistance&#8217;s organizational capabilities and ability to project strength on multiple occasions during the war. The Al-Qassam Brigades mobilized massive crowds to participate in the handover process, delivering a clear message of defiance to Israel and the world at large.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10936\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10936\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10936 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/israel-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Israeli withdrawal\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/israel-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/israel-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/israel-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/israel.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10936\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Israeli occupation army<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken previously stated that the United States recognizes that the number of fighters Hamas has recruited is nearly equivalent to those it lost in the war.
