Unveiling the Hidden Dynamics of Hamas in the Gaza Crisis
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Washington Post
As the Gaza crisis escalates, experts are concerned that Hamas may unveil a deadly surprise, potentially including advanced weapons that they have been working on for years. Hamas has already used self-detonating drones based on the designs of a deceased aerospace engineer, and they are believed to possess more advanced weaponry in hidden arsenals. Analysts warn that Hamas may be waiting for an Israeli ground assault to deploy these weapons, potentially including undersea drones or large missiles with precision-guidance systems. Hamas's enhanced capabilities are largely attributed to support from Iran, which has provided training and technology to Palestinian groups. Israeli officials are taking action to counter the threat, but the recent attacks have exposed intelligence failures and the vulnerability of Israel's defensive systems.
