Israeli media reported on Friday that the Israeli military was unable to inflict harm on Hamas, emphasizing that the movement retained command and control in the Gaza Strip.

Commenting on the words of the Occupation Security Minister, Yoav Galant, who claimed that the Hamas movement "has begun to collapse," the Palestinian affairs commentator on the Israeli Kan channel, Elior Levy, affirmed that Hamas' core strength has not weakened, adding that its strength was not particularly harmed in the areas south of the Gaza Strip.

In this context, Israeli media commented on the Palestinian resistance, involving the launch of rockets and shells toward settlements surrounding the Gaza Strip for over two months, as part of the ongoing Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
