A senior Hamas official told the BBC that the terrorist group has lost around 80% of its control over the Gaza Strip after 21 months of intense fighting with the Israel Defense Forces. Speaking on condition of anonymity, he assessed that Hamas has lost most of its active leadership as well as its military and governing capabilities.

"Let's be realistic here — there's barely anything left of the security structure. Most of the leadership, about 95%, are now dead. ... The active figures have all been killed," the Hamas official told BBC through voice messages. "So really, what's stopping Israel from continuing this war?" he continued.

"Logically, it has to continue until the end. All the conditions are aligned: Israel has the upper hand, the world is silent, the Arab regimes are silent, criminal gangs are everywhere, society is collapsing," he added.
