Israeli leaders swore to crush Hamas after the extremist Islamist organisation launched terrorist attacks from Gaza into southern Israel, killing 1,400 people in their homes and at a dance party on 7 October.
Since then, an Israeli ground and air offensive has wrought massive destruction across Gaza, displacing at least 1.3 million people and killing 10,569 – including 4,324 children and 2,823 women – according to the Hamas-controlled health ministry in the territory.
“I challenge [Israel] if it has been able, to this moment, to record any military achievement on the ground other than killing civilians,” the senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad told Al Jazeera television.
“Israelis went ahead with the bombing in Jabaliya camp because they knew there was a high value target there and so were not concerned by collateral damage,” said Bilal Saab, an expert at Chatham House in London.
Israeli officials accuse Hamas of using civilians to shield leaders and key infrastructure, releasing images on Wednesday that appear to show tunnel entrances close to an amusement park with a large ferris wheel.
“We succeeded in putting the Palestinian issue back on the table, and now no one in the region is experiencing calm,” Khalil al-Hayya, a member of Hamas’s top leadership body, told the New York Times in Doha, Qatar.
