At the crucial moment of the 2nd anniversary of Operation Aksha Flood, Hamas finally pledged to negotiate peace with Israel and consider releasing all detainees.
The original statistics were 48 people, but the current data is that only 20 people are alive, the rest are no longer.
Moreover, the 20 people who were alive were all men, but according to previous reports, we found out that there were men and women among the hostages.
War is cruel, and in the course of war, older women and children are the most vulnerable group.Per the outside world will never know exactly what those women have experienced with Hamas.
All 20 hostages have been returned
On October 13, 2025, Israel and Hamas officially began the exchange of hostages, but after seeing the gap in the number of hostages, it is estimated that you will be a bit unconscious.
Because Hamas only used 20 hostages in its hand in exchange for 1,986 hostages in Israel's hands. Of course, hostages here can be called detainees.
No matter where this business is placed, it doesn't seem to be very cost-effective. Are the Israeli authorities not very bright? Can this loss-making business really be done?
Don't tell me, it really can.
Because the main strategic purpose of Israel's invasion of Gaza was to rescue all hostages and clear the number of hostages. Since then, during the war, Hamas has returned hostages many times, but two years have passed and the hostages in Hamas's hands have not been completely returned.
Because more and more hostages are being rescued, and Hamas has fewer hostages in its hands, it becomes increasingly important, which will directly affect whether the war will continue.
Israel’s strategic goal is to rescue all hostages.Once this strategic goal is reached, Israel will only consider other strategic goals.So it is clear that the return of these 20 individuals has helped Israel this strategic goal.
As for how many Palestinians to use in exchange for these 20 people, it is a cost-effective deal in Israel's view. Because even if these Palestinians are imprisoned, it will not help Israel much to achieve this strategic goal, but after their release, they will be able to accomplish this great thing.
On the contrary to Hamas, the release of hostages has clearly demonstrated their greatest sincerity, so the United States is sure to make a little concession to Hamas in other ways, otherwise things won't go so smoothly.
Israel withdraws, Hamas again controls Gaza
According to the plan proposed by the United States, Hamas needs to lay down its arms or leave Gaza. But for now, Hamas has no plans to leave Gaza.
Although they have lost tens of thousands of troops, they still have an army of about 5,000 to 6,000 people.The reason for this time of counterattack is less, mainly because Hamas's equipment is seriously insufficient.
They are waiting for an opportunity, and this peace talks is the best opportunity.
Because as long as the peace talks are successful and hostages are exchanged, United Nations aid can enter Gaza smoothly. Then the financiers behind Hamas will have the opportunity to provide them with weapons and equipment.
On the evening of October 9, Israel began deploying troops to evacuate to the agreed ceasefire line as planned. Within 24 hours, a large number of main forces had been withdrawn.
However, as of October 12, Israel still controlled about 53% of Gaza. These sites are mainly concentrated on the border between Gaza and Israel.
So when Israel withdrew some of its troops, the empty land was not first handed over to the United Nations, but Hamas filled the power vacuum for the first time.
The locals are sad because, according to Hamas, there are a lot of Gazans in the area who have helped Israel to find Hamas' arsenal, so Hamas intends to take this opportunity.
They executed 10 Gazans on the scene on October 12 and, most importantly, not only did they not cover up them, but exhibited them on the square, even without worrying about the distribution of images around the world.
There are mainly these reasons:
- First of all, Liu.Hamas wants to use this method to tell all Gazans that since Hamas ruled Gaza in 2007, Hamas has still existed in Gaza without saying anything, and the end of these people is to betray Hamas.
- Second, revenge.Because these people betrayed Hamas, Hamas suffered heavy losses. Even if it was to avenge their former comrades, they had to find out these people
- 。 Third, tell the money owners that they still have use value.Kim is cold and ruthless, and if you don’t have the code in your hand, it won’t be worth it in front of him. Hamas is therefore trying to tell the back of him that he still controls many parts of Gaza, and that he is still talking about it here.
It seems that the first two points are very important, but in fact the most critical point is the third point. Any organization needs a channel for money. Without money in its pocket, nothing can be done. Everyone knows Party A's biggest truth. Therefore, if Hamas wants to continue to exist, it must obtain a steady stream of funds from its sponsors.
In the past, Hamas was able to withhold United Nations relief funds while receiving sponsorship from financial sponsors. But after this battle, this income was gone. If Hamas wants to continue to exist, it can only rely on the rewards of its financiers.
Why is Hamas so strong?
The old doesn't go, the new doesn't come. In the past two years, the older generation of middle and high-level Hamas officials have basically been targeted and eliminated by Israel. Now, even if they choose a new speaker, they dare not show it easily.
With the backbone out of file, the younger generation of Hamas members gradually came to the front. Many people don't understand that now that Hamas is almost at the end of its force, what development is there? What big waves can these newcomers make when they come up?
You must know that there are still five to six thousand people left in the tens of thousands of Hamas troops, and they have not been completely eliminated.
Meanwhile, Israel has killed tens of thousands of people in Gaza, behind whom is a normal Palestinian family.The Palestinian fertility rate is very high and each family has several children.If their parents, brothers and sisters were killed in this war, would you say these children remember Israel?
This is Hamas 'biggest trump card, which is to expand hatred.
It could be said that Hamas had long anticipated that it could not be an opponent of Israel, starting with the axha flood operation in October 2023, but why did they do so?
From the perspective of conspiracy theories, they are all about provoking the anger of the people of Gaza, the Palestinians and even the entire Arab people against Israel.
Hamas slaughtered several villages in Israel, killing more than 1,200 people. Israel will inevitably avenge such blood revenge. Then Hamas's plan will succeed, because once Israel enters Gaza for revenge, it will inevitably kill a large number of Gaza civilians.
Why? because Hamas’s entrances are basically built in hospitals, schools and a large number of residential areas in Gaza.If Israel wants to destroy Hamas, it has to attack these densely populated areas, then casualties inevitably occur.
Subsequently, the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Organization began to disclose the casualties of Gaza personnel.At this stage, the Palestinians began to get angry, and the Arabs began to fight with the enemy, even the United Nations had to turn to the side of Gaza, and began to condemn Israel.
This is the most important weapon of Hamas. how can they win Israel with the equipment in their hands? but after mastering this massacre-oriented trick, Hamas really has a chance to change its destiny.
No, children grow up one day and their families die in this war, and these children can become the next members of Hamas just a little bit by Hamas.
How long will Hamas laugh?
In any case, the hostages have been cleared, which is the best effect of this cooperation between the United States and Israel. After this matter is resolved, Israel will actually have no worries.
You know, the exchange of hostages is carried out according to the 20 plans proposed by the old United States. The next peace process will most likely follow the plan.
But now it is clear that Hamas is jumping again and they have taken over many parts of Gaza before Israel has completely withdrawn. At the same time, in front of the United States and the United Nations, many Gazans who had communicated with Israel were executed to deter other Gazans.
They want to use this method to make every Gazan afraid and no longer dare to betray them easily. In this regard, Israel did nothing, allowing them to intensify conflicts among themselves. Why? Because they are waiting for an opportunity.
As long as Hamas fails to comply with the next 20 plans, Israel has a reason to enter Gaza again in its entirety.
