Hamas Adapts Command Structure Amid IDF Strikes in Gaza
The Israeli military has intensified its strikes in the Gaza Strip over the past ten days, eliminating 16 Hamas operatives, including five company commanders and four platoon commanders. In response to the increased pace of assassinations, Hamas is reportedly considering changes to its command structure, appointing more deputies and individuals to lead various units. This strategic shift aims to facilitate rapid replacement of commanders who are killed and ensure the organization's continued survival.
According to a report by Channel 12 News, alongside these structural adjustments, Hamas is making significant efforts to conceal operatives who participated in the October 7th massacre. These militants are reportedly staying closer to civilian populations to reduce the likelihood of IDF strikes in their vicinity.
Concurrently with these evasive maneuvers and organizational changes, Hamas is attempting to conduct more significant attacks against IDF forces on the ground. These actions include firing rockets and deploying explosive devices.
