IDF Intel: 4,000 of 6,000 Oct 7 infiltrators killed; Hamas retains fighter numbers, plans Lebanon-model attacks

On the third anniversary of the Oct 7 massacre, IDF Military Intelligence told ministers that 4,000 of the 6,000 who crossed the fence were eliminated, yet Hamas's military wing maintains similar fighter numbers. Hamas aims to replicate the 'Lebanon model' in Gaza, implying sustained guerrilla warfare and potential kidnapping operations. Israel assesses Hezbollah has lost ~80% of its rocket potential, but the resilience of Hamas signals a prolonged conflict.
