"Hamas's Ceasefire Conundrum: A Desperate Display of Power As the fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel holds, the Palestinian militant group has shifted its focus from military operations to a more insidious strategy: showcasing its brutal grip on Gaza. With its conventional means of invading and bombing Israel temporarily off the table, Hamas is instead leveraging the lull in violence to demonstrate its unyielding control over the Palestinian people. Through a series of ruthless crackdowns on dissent, enforced curfews, and targeted arrests, Hamas is sending a chilling message to its critics and opponents: resist at your own peril. But what lies behind this calculated display of power, and what does it say about the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?"
Hamas can’t invade or bomb Israel right now, so it's using the ceasefire to show the Palestinian people that it's just as ruthless as ever.
