Tens of thousands of Gazans were killed in Operation Swords of Iron War, hundreds of thousands more maimed, and millions more displaced. Hamas used to number in the tens of thousands, but now it's believed to only be in the hundreds, with their new leader being Izz al-Din al-Haddad in the Gaza City division. Israel is demanding what's left of Hamas to disarm, but they refuse, because it could spark a civil war with all the armed gangs that Israel controls in the region, like Yasser Abu Shabab's Popular Forces, who already control the food supply in Gaza City.
