Israel-Hamas war: As Gaza fighting resumes, opportunity emerges – Now, after the pause, there is a chance for Israel to try to come up with a strategy, not just tactical goals. | The Jerusalem Post

Hamas broke the truce to attack Israel on Friday morning. The Islamist terror organization used the pause in fighting to see how far it could push Israel in delaying hostage transfers and also turn them into a media event.
It purposely paraded hostages for the cameras and used this to bolster its image. Hamas was trying to show that, despite fifty days of war after its attack on October 7, it was intact.
