PNN – A Zionist official, referring to Tel Aviv’s failure to eliminate Hamas, acknowledged that the movement still has 20,000 ready fighters.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing Al Jazeera, the American magazine “The Atlantic” reported, quoting a Zionist official, that the Islamic resistance movement Hamas still has about 20,000 fighters and the amount of weapons in the West Bank is unimaginable.
The Israeli official, declaring that “we are lucky that the situation in the West Bank has not worsened,” acknowledged that settler violence against Palestinians has increased sharply, from less than 90 incidents per month in early 2025 to more than 200 incidents.

The Atlantic also reported, citing former Israeli Air Force General Nimrod Schaefer that Tel Aviv’s current strategy in the Gaza Strip is to continue the war. This strategy only benefits Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who is wanted by the International Criminal Court – and his cabinet coalition, and is in the interests of no one else.
Since October 7, 2023, the Zionist regime has committed genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, and has ignored international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop it.
The Zionist genocide has so far resulted in 61,499 Palestinians killed and 153,575 injured, and more than 9,000 missing, as well as hundreds of thousands displaced and the creation of a famine that has claimed the lives of many, including dozens of children.
During the Gaza war, the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem, have killed at least 1,015 Palestinians and injured about 7,000, in addition to the arrest of more than 18,500 Palestinians.
