Hamas Can Still Recruit New Fighters, but It’s a Shadow of Its Former Self

As the fighting in Gaza continues, the question of who is winning remains. In an in-depth report with elaborate graphics, CNN argued recently that the IDF had not made as much progress against Hamas as it claims. While the report does contain some outright falsehoods, it is better researched and contains less distortion than much coverage of the conflict. Yet it ultimately is of a piece with another CNN article from April about how “Israel has no viable plan for how to end the war” and isn’t achieving its goals.
