"US Intelligence: Israel's Efforts Against Hamas Fall Short, Can Continue for Months"

US intelligence estimates that Israel has only killed 20-30% of the estimated 30,000 Hamas militants, contradicting IDF claims of higher casualties. The war has devastated Gaza, with Hamas retaining the majority of its fighting force and enough munitions to continue firing at Israel for months. Concerns are raised about the feasibility of Israel's goal to destroy Hamas and the growing civilian casualties in Gaza, with the death toll surpassing 25,000. Despite pressure to scale back the war effort, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that the fighting will continue until the Islamist militant group is crushed.
