Israel is shifting its strategy in the Gaza Strip to dismantle Hamas's rule and control the territory, with the goal of eventually rebuilding. The IDF has significantly diminished Hamas's capacity to launch attacks and has targeted both military assets and civilian infrastructure. Israel's new approach is to conquer, hold, and build, rather than simply degrading Hamas's military strength. Factors enabling this shift include the IDF's experience in Gaza and Lebanon, increased support from the US administration, and the absence of other conflicts diverting Israel's attention. Growing discontent among Gazan civilians towards Hamas is also contributing to the potential end of its rule. Israel's ultimate goal is to provide Hamas with only one option: withdrawal from Gaza.
