Israeli media outlets have confirmed Hamas' victory over "Israel" in the recent confrontations on multiple fronts. According to reports from the Israeli news platform Civil Press, the movement has emerged triumphant in Gaza both militarily and politically, garnering significant support from global public opinion.

After seven months of intense warfare in Gaza and along the northern border with Lebanon, Civil Press asserts that Hamas has demonstrated its superiority, particularly in the eyes of the international community.

The return of Israeli captives in coffins underscores the heavy toll exacted on Israeli forces, with numerous soldiers losing their lives in the war, as per the outlet.

Furthermore, reports indicate that Israeli forces have withdrawn from previously occupied territories within the Gaza Strip, signaling a retreat and loss of control.

Israeli media also highlighted the resumption of operations at the maritime pier in Gaza, a development seen as a significant victory for the Resistance following "Israel's" previous control over humanitarian aid entry points.

Former commanders of the Gaza Division have echoed sentiments of the military's struggle, with one stating, "The army is floundering in Gaza, and it is clear that we will not achieve our stated objectives."

These reports underscore a shifting narrative in the ongoing confrontations, with the Gaza movement asserting itself as a formidable foe, beating Israeli military might.

Major General in the Israeli Reserve Army Yitzhak Brik on Thursday said that the current war unfolding in Gaza  is a "war of attrition" and warned that its prolongation "will lead to the collapse of the army and economy in Israel."

Speaking to Israeli broadcaster Channel 13, Brik said that "the Israeli army needs immediate rehabilitation" and there is an urgent need to increase the number of ground forces.

At the same time, Brik acknowledged the army's failure in defeating the Resistance, noting that the Strip "represents one [front] out of six," and the war against it "does not involve launching thousands of rockets daily (as is the case of other war scenarios with other fronts, such as  Lebanon and Iran)."

Addressing the reasons that would lead to the collapse of "the army" and the Israeli economy in the event of the war's prolongation, Brik warned of "the absence of soldiers (to replace those currently on the ground), the absence of workers amid international isolation facing Israel."

Earlier on Thursday, Knesset member Amit Levy said that "all 24 Hamas brigades are present [in Gaza] and not a single one of them has been destroyed."

In addition to the Resistance's resilience, the Islamic Jihad movement remains present, "they lied to us that it had been eliminated," Levy told Channel 14.

These statements come amid increasing doubts about the objectives of the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza, as Israeli troops return to old battlefields in the Strip, according to Reuters.

In the eighth month of the war, the Israeli army returned to fighting in areas in the northern Gaza Strip, where Israeli soldiers were among the dead and injured after the regime claimed that they had been "cleared."

According to Reuters, this points out growing questions about the regime's goal of eliminating Hamas and concerns over the absence of a clear post-war plan for Gaza.
