Is Hamas regrouping and growing inspite and because of the IDF military action and NO effort by Israel to seek a political solution to the Gaza situation?
Ruling out a two state solution by Israeli lawmakers vs their militarty and intelligence view that their militarty action will NEVER solve the issue of Gaza and free the hostages ALIVE….
Both The Jerusalem Post and Channel 12 have received information indicating that Hamas is making a substantial comeback by recruiting new forces.
Along with Islamic Jihad together, Channel 12 said on Wednesday night that Hamas was up to between 20,000-23,000 fighters.
Information received by The Post in the recent period indicated numbers closer to around 12,000.

The latest numbers publicized were that the IDF has killed between 17,000-20,000 Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists over the course of the war….
…
If the Channel 12 reporting is correct, that report said that around 9,000 Hamas forces are split between northern and southern Gaza, that Islamic Jihad has another 4,000 fighters, and that there are another 7,000-10,000 disorganized, more local clan-style fighters spread out throughout the Strip.
These numbers would seem to contradict recent iDF briefings to the Post and others indicating that much of northern Gaza has been cleared of fighters.

In Syria?
It appears Iran IS trying to get back into influence….
Dec 31, 2024 – ISW Press
A new group announced its opposition to the Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS)-led interim government. Armed opposition by the group—named the Syrian Popular Resistance—would likely exacerbate sectarian tensions in Syria and even risk driving fissures in the HTS-led coalition. There are growing indications that Iran is trying to stoke and exploit sectarian violence in Syria. Doing so would weaken the HTS-led interim government and help reestablish the Axis of Resistance in Syria. The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) have continued to clash in northern and northeastern Syria on December 31. An unspecified Israeli official speaking to Israeli media expressed interest in increasing cooperation with the US-led international coalition against the Houthis in Yemen.
