Hamas builds new terror regime in Gaza, recruiting teens amid problematic election

Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
Hamas is rebuilding its military capabilities and leadership in Gaza during the current ceasefire with Israel, using the pause in fighting to regroup and recruit teenage fighters, according to Professor Kobi Michael of the Institute for National Security Studies. After Israeli forces withdrew from parts of Gaza in October, Hamas has moved to fill the resulting power vacuum, restoring control over areas previously under Israeli Defense Forces presence and resuming law enforcement actions, including targeting suspected opponents. Hamas is also preparing to elect new political leadership, with contenders Khalil al-Hayya and Khaled Mashaal, both described as supporting armed resistance. The group has expanded recruitment efforts, offering income to boys as young as 16 or 17, and is actively rebuilding tunnels, appointing new regional governors, and replenishing military resources across Gaza.

Scripture: Psalm 83:2-4
"For behold, Thine enemies make an uproar; And those who hate Thee have exalted themselves. They make shrewd plans against Thy people, And conspire together against Thy treasured ones. They have said, 'Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more.'"
Commentary:
On the ground in Gaza, uncertainty shapes daily life as power shifts and militant groups reassert control in a fragile pause. The Scripture points to long-standing hostility and calculated plans against Israel—conflict over the right to exist, often involving youth pulled into cycles of violence. This turmoil is happening on land God gave to Israel, giving these events a prophetic weight Scripture treats as unique. The recurring restoration of military strength and leadership among Israel’s adversaries reflects the kind of patterns described in biblical prophecy, where persistent opposition surfaces during moments of restraint.
Prophetic Trend:
Periods of restraint in Gaza are repeatedly leveraged for regrouping and renewed confrontation on land given by God to Israel.
