US government intelligence indicates that only 30-35 per cent of Hamas fighters have been killed in Israel’s assault on Gaza since October 7, while 65pc of the group’s tunnels remain intact, al Jazeera reports citing Politico reports.
Citing a person familiar with US intelligence, the outlet says Biden officials have also expressed concern that Hamas has been able to recruit thousands of new fighters over the last several months.
Last week, US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said Joe Biden’s administration does not believe that Israel’s stated strategy of pursuing “total victory” over Hamas in Gaza is feasible.
