US officers estimate only one-third of Hamas fighters killed Report

Senior US army intelligence officers say Israel has degraded Hamas’s military capabilities, but it is not close to eliminating it, according to a New York Times report.

The officers told Congress members in private conversations in recent days that it looked like only one-third of the group’s fighters had been killed, it said.

The report added the officers also stressed there was no wisdom in counting the number of dead “among enemy fighters”.
