An Israeli newspaper citing a commander of a Special Forces Brigade in the Israeli occupation forces, Colonel Omer Cohen, acknowledged that Hamas and the Palestinian Resistance are far from defeated, as the IOF soldiers fighting in the Hamad neighborhood in Khan Younis have witnessed confrontations of a caliber they had not seen anywhere else in the Strip.

The military affairs correspondent for Haaretz quoted Cohen as saying, on March 14, that the neighborhood is filled with Palestinian fighters utilizing more advanced combat equipment, including high-level explosive devices being employed against Israeli occupation forces.

Cohen explained that Hamas' command and control system in this neighborhood remains functioning, saying, "It is clear that Hamas still has the capabilities to manage forces here, and this is evident in the fighting in recent days."

He emphasized that the intense fighting and the number of fighters who continue to emerge from every corner of the neighborhood indicate that the area holds important assets or valuable infrastructure for Hamas there.

The newspaper also quoted another officer as saying, "Only when you enter the Hamad neighborhood do you truly understand that it is a hornet's nest."

Our correspondent added that rescue teams have started recovering the bodies of the martyrs still trapped under the debris of their homes due to the Israeli aggression.
