The IDF on Wednesday struck four rocket-firing positions that Hamas has newly constructed in Gaza<\/a> since the October 2025 ceasefire.<\/p>\n

In fact, according to the IDF, Hamas constructed these platforms relatively recently.<\/p>\n

This could indicate that Hamas is now working harder than before to redevelop rocket firing capabilities on Israel to intimidate the Jewish state into heeding its demands.<\/p>\n

Since October 2025, Hamas and Israel have been in a standoff with the Gaza<\/a> terror group demanding that Israel allow substantial moves for rebuilding Gaza before it takes any disarmament actions, while Jerusalem has said it would only allow broader rebuilding once Hamas at least significantly enters the disarmament process.<\/p>\n

While months ago there were rumors and reports that Hamas<\/a> had agreed to partial disarmament in stages, since then, and especially since Iran was seen as pushing back on American power in the region, there has been little progress.<\/p>\n

Israel has also protested to the US that the 600-plus trucks per day of aid into Gaza are more than is needed and are just enriching Hamas, but Washington to date has rejected any reductions.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, in recent months, the IDF, clearly with a green light from the US, has increased its pace of targeted killings of senior and mid-level Hamas officials.<\/p>\n

After two consecutive military chiefs of Hamas were killed in mid-May, only weeks apart, the Gaza<\/a> group has not even named a new leader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The IDF on Wednesday struck four rocket-firing positions that Hamas has newly constructed in Gaza since the October…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175237,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[33],"tags":[713,496,2254,5656,1411,100,2090,423,37,11681,93,5599,2560,1761,680],"class_list":["post-175236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-airstrike","tag-gaza","tag-gaza-strip","tag-gaza-war","tag-hamas","tag-hezbollah","tag-iaf","tag-idf","tag-israel","tag-israel-strike","tag-lebanon","tag-lebanon-rockets","tag-lebanon-war","tag-rockets","tag-strike"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116804506355457853","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175236"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175236\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
