Part 11/12:
A pressing question remains: is it feasible to dismantle Hamas entirely? Historical precedents from the fight against ISIS suggest that it is possible but requires significant effort. The Iraqi military’s nine-month campaign to retake Mosul from ISIS, which involved clearing civilians and systematically destroying ISIS-controlled areas, demonstrates that major terrorist groups can be eradicated as territorial entities.
The key elements include targeted military operations, cutting off funding sources, and gaining international consensus. While complete eradication of Hamas remains challenging—especially due to their embedded presence, hostage issues, and complex political landscape—the evidence from other terrorist groups indicates that with sustained effort, it is achievable.
