Short of commanders, deprived of key tunnels, and uncertain of Iranian support, Hamas is struggling to maintain control in Gaza amid Israel’s intense military campaign . Growing tribal defiance, encouraged by Israeli backing, has led Hamas to dispatch top fighters to eliminate rebel clan leader Yasser Abu Shabab in Rafah—without success . A humanitarian-driven ceasefire is urgently needed, both to alleviate domestic pressure and to allow Hamas to reassert order over clans and looters . Israel claims it has killed 20,000+ Hamas fighters and dismantled much of its tunnel infrastructure, further weakening the group . Increasingly young, undertrained recruits are being drawn from impoverished youth. (PC: Reuters)
