Heavy Losses Haven't Broken Hamas

[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - There were no signs on Tuesday that the Hamas regime was even close to collapsing. Palestinian sources in Gaza said Hamas had lost several hundred fighters and at least 2,500 Hamas gunmen had been wounded. But this was only a tiny percentage of Hamas' armed units, believed to number more than 25,000. In addition, dozens of Fatah gunmen belonging to the Aksa Martyrs Brigades are reportedly participating in the fighting, as well as members of Islamic Jihad, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and the Popular Resistance Committees. Palestinian reporters in Gaza estimated that at least 150 gunmen belonging to these groups had been killed by the IDF.
