    So Hamas has no leadership and will dissolve now? Or is this guy already replaced by someone worse?

      Of course Hamas won’t dissolve, their entire structure is designed to minimize the impact of assassinating leadership, otherwise they would have folded long ago.

        Hamas will eventually dissolve. This is one of the IDF goals in this war.

          I don’t believe the IDF will win, actually. The entire strategy of the Resistance is more to bleed Israel to death with a thousand cuts than it is to storm Israel and take Tel Aviv. They want Israel to be unable to defend itself and have everyone leave Palestinian land, and to do so they make it incredibly expensive, rockets that cost thousands against defense rockets that cost tens of millions. That’s how asymetric warfare works. That’s why they use tunnels, so Israel’s bombs struggle to reach them and can’t invade properly.

            Israel have bombs that weight tons and can easily enter bunker (refer to Hassan Nasrallah assassination). Putting tunnels under civilians is an evil strategy. Actually I’m tired of making sense out of it.

      They will select a new primary leader, but they are organized more as a confederation than a centrally controlled group. Very little of their action relies on there being a leader at all. Past Israeli assassinations of their leaders haven’t weakened the group, and I don’t see any reason this time would be different.
