Intelligence sources indicate that Hamas is preparing for a new offensive against Israel, seeking an opportune moment to strike while simultaneously rebuilding its capabilities. The organization has significantly intensified its efforts to resume hostilities, with intelligence assessments suggesting a potential preemptive strike is being considered. Hamas is actively recruiting new militants, including minors, and is working to restore its military strength, though the exact timing of any attack remains unknown.
According to a high-ranking security source cited by Channel 14, Hamas's military activity has substantially increased in recent weeks. The source stated that the group is preparing for an attack and awaiting the right moment to launch it, adding that Israeli intelligence has information about the preparation of a possible preemptive strike. The recruitment drive includes teenagers as young as 17, who undergo an accelerated one-week training program focusing on weapons handling and basic combat skills.
Amidst Israel's election period, offensive actions against Hamas are reportedly not being undertaken, though the report notes no official confirmation linking these decisions to the elections. Concerns are also heightened by Hamas's activities near medical facilities in northern Gaza. The IDF reported that Hamas is using the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabalia and its surroundings to restore combat readiness and organize terrorist activities. While the hospital operates as a clinic during the day, its premises are allegedly used by militants for military purposes.
The Israeli military claims to possess intelligence and video evidence of Hamas's operations in the area, emphasizing that using a functioning medical facility for military purposes endangers patients, staff, and civilians. The IDF accuses Hamas of using their presence as human shields. The hospital and its vicinity have reportedly been used by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad for planning attacks against Israelis in the past. In December 2024, the IDF conducted an operation in the hospital complex, reportedly discovering weapons and military equipment and detaining over 240 terror suspects.
