- 4,000 of 6,000 terrorists killed since October 7.
- Hamas planning potential attacks around elections.
- Hamas manpower similar but less experienced.
- Hezbollah lost 80% of rocket potential.
- Ministers discussed film on alleged war crimes.
Binder stated during a cabinet meeting that the remaining 2,000 infiltrators will be pursued until the last one is dealt with. Security officials warned that Hamas is planning a new attack or a specific abduction incident, possibly around the upcoming elections, as the organization amasses resources in civilian areas, believing Israel's hands are tied.
While Hamas's military manpower remains similar to pre-war levels due to recruitment and indoctrination of youth, its forces are less experienced and its command structure has been severely degraded by frequent eliminations. Israeli officials analyzed Hamas's strategic situation, noting its physical isolation from Egypt, which has crippled smuggling capabilities. Furthermore, Israel now controls over 60 percent of the Gaza Strip, and Hamas's rocket capabilities have been significantly reduced, though preserved for future use.
The organization is reportedly aiming to adopt a "Lebanon model," transferring civilian administration to a dedicated committee while maintaining behind-the-scenes influence. It is also forming a political front against Abu Mazen, alongside other factions and Mohammed Dahlan's camp.
Regarding Hezbollah, senior officials indicated that the organization has lost about 80 percent of its rocket potential, and most of its General Staff and Radwan forces have been eliminated. The fall of the Assad regime in Syria has severed territorial contiguity and weapons supply routes from Iran. Additionally, ministers discussed the impact of the film "Naza," which presents alleged war crimes by soldiers from Unit 8200, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir discussing legal avenues for examination and investigation.
