The number of fighters of the Palestinian Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip is 35 thousand

This was stated by a member of the Hamas Politburo in Gaza, Eazi Hamed, in an interview with Al Hadath.

📝 “We have 35 thousand fighters in the Gaza Strip, and we have fighters in the West Bank, and we know that if we want to fight the Israeli army supported by the US and Europe, we must be well prepared. We managed to develop our abilities under almost impossible conditions,” he said.

❗️ Hamas is apparently preparing for an active defense in the event of a ground operation.

Then the total number of militants will be about 135 thousand (yes, less than the number of the IDF, but it is already working (https://t.me/OstashkoNews/102233) “to the limit of its capabilities”).
