Hamas fighters have returned to the streets of Gaza after the ceasefire, defying Israel's vow to crush them. While Hamas appears to have survived the war, Israel has withdrawn from the territory's densely populated areas. The destruction left behind by Israeli forces was staggering, and it could take 15 years to rebuild the Gaza Strip. Despite heavy losses, Hamas remains operational and defiant. The ceasefire is in its infancy, and the future of the Gaza Strip and Hamas remains uncertain.
