Can Israel destroy Hamas?

Hamas says it is able to keep fighting the Israeli army in Gaza, despite its losses.

Israel’s war on Gaza has raged for nearly a year, with more than 41,000 people killed in the Palestinian territory.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant says Hamas is effectively dismantled as a fighting force.

However, the group has refuted this, saying it has ample resources and new recruits.

After almost a year of war, is Hamas still capable of fighting the Israeli army?

And what does this mean for the dynamics on the ground in Gaza?
