(TPS) Residents of the Gaza border communities and security experts are sounding the alarm over mounting evidence that Hamas is preparing for a new wave of terror.
Despite ongoing Israeli military operations and the partial return of evacuated residents to near Gaza border communities, those living and serving near the Gaza Strip warn that the threat remains very real, and the lessons of October 7 have yet to be fully internalized by the government and military leadership.
Bouskila, a reserve operations officer in the IDF Gaza Division, echoed the residents’ concerns and pointed to the root cause.
“The reason Hamas retains these abilities is simple—we have not fought to achieve a decisive victory,” he explained. “We allowed Hamas to maintain its control over the area and handed it the humanitarian aid, which ultimately became their source of power in Gaza—both in asserting dominance over the population and in its ability to acquire supplies and replenish resources needed to continue producing weapons.”
Despite over a year of military operations, Bouskila warned that these measures have failed to break Hamas’ hold on Gaza.
