Сможет ли израильская армия свергнуть ХАМАС? Какой ценой?

On October 31, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released a recording of a statement by the head of the Southern Command, Major General Yaron Finkelman, announcing the Israeli military's launch of an offensive in the Gaza Strip. Israeli authorities claim that the ground operation in Gaza aims to completely destroy Hamas. On October 7, Hamas militants attacked Israel, killing over 1,000 people and taking hundreds hostage. According to Palestinian authorities, over 8,000 residents have died in Gaza during the same period. The international community's main concern regarding the operation is the complete destruction of Gaza's infrastructure, which could, among other things, lead to civilian casualties and trigger a large influx of refugees who will have a hard time finding shelter. In the "What Happened" podcast, we discuss the goals of Israel's operation in the Gaza Strip and its potential consequences.
