Arab military analysts are saying that Hamas has managed to regroup in northern Gaza, reorganizing 12 different brigades that are now engaged in fighting on all fronts.
This analysis is supported by events on the ground where fierce battles are currently underway in Jabaliya, in northern Gaza, and other areas.
This was demonstrated as well by new videos, released by both Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas) and Al-Quds Brigades (Palestinian Islamic Jihad).
Practically, this means that after declaring that Israel has near complete control over the northern battlefield, Palestinian Resistance has managed to press the reset button, retaking the fight back to its early days.
Israeli military officials have communicated their sense of shock to The New York Times and other Israeli and American newspapers regarding the capabilities of Hamas, reaching, although not publicly, the conclusion that there can be no military victory in Gaza.
