    Hamas physically could not fight a war against Israel given

    1. Israel has an incredibly powerful and sophisticated military
    2. Israel has the complete military backing of the US which is overwhelmingly powerful
    3. Israel controls everything about Gaza including entrance and exit, water, electricity and internet access
    4. Hamas has no significant number of anti-air assets, antitank assets or anything required to resist a modern armored ground offensive backed by air superiority

    If any one of those four were true, it would be impossible for Hamas to fight a “war”, the fact that all four are true makes it abundantly clear any sense of a “war between two militaries” is a complete warping of reality. Israel does not want to conquer Gaza, it wants erase the human beings living there, this is much scarier than a war. MUCH scarier.
