And after October 7, any political or military leader who believed Hamas could be swiftly dismantled—or that its infrastructure was anything less than deeply entrenched—was never a serious student of war. Hamas spent decades transforming Gaza into a fortress: a vast subterranean network of tunnels, a militarized landscape of civilian infrastructure, and a society indoctrinated for jihad. This was not a rogue insurgency. It was an autonomous warfighting entity—an entire region engineered for protracted conflict.
