    You know I somehow doubt this considering hamas didn’t mount a permanent offensive of any kind

    They literally raided for less than a day and than ran back with hostages. No way they’re just sitting on stockpiles of fuel and resources if it couldn’t be immediately used, and they were aware that everything was going to get intensely bombed anyway.

    Yeah they probably do have stockpiles, but nothing substantial.

    Even the article mentions the released hostage who saw them eating the same one meal a day of bread and cheese.

      That’s incorrect - the Israelis continued to capture and kill them inside Israel even a week after the attack. Some of the terrorists came with provisions that were meant to last for a long time, until the area calmed down, and then to launch a second attack from the inside.

      Hamas released videos from the tunnels showing stockpiles of weaponry and supplies. The hostages also testified that they showered every other day, while the rest of Gaza is essentially cut from water supply. Those water had to come from somewhere.
