A cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas may allow the rearming of terrorists in Gaza.

On Sunday, in Gaza, Hamas terrorists were seen with weapons while the first three Israeli female hostages were released as the cease-fire agreement took effect.

In the central Gaza area of Deir al-Balah, groups of armed men, suspected terrorists, celebrated after the cease-fire and chanted, "It is continuous by God's permission to kill the last Zionist soldier in our holy country," as cars honked horns and music blared, according to a report by Israeli news agency TPS-IL.

Some Israeli military experts believe that the agreement could allow Hamas to reorganize its terrorists in Gaza and repopulate the northern part of the Gaza Strip that borders Israel.

Although Israel has made substantial military gains against several of Iran's proxies, the country has been compelled to accept a poor agreement that maintains Hamas's control. According to Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, Hamas's leaders have consistently stated that they will continue to pursue jihad against Israel until it is completely eradicated, even after the cease-fire was declared.

The Hamas terror organization holds Israel at gunpoint, and Israel has agreed to release almost 2,000 convicted Palestinian terrorists, withdraw from the Gaza Strip, and temporarily cease-fire to repatriate 33 Israeli hostages.

According to a MEMRI translation, Khalil al-Hayya, a senior Hamas official, reportedly boasted about his movement's plans to commit a second October 7 massacre of Israelis following the initial announcement of last week's deal.

Al-Hayya declared that the first slaughter of over 1,200 Israelis, including more than 40 Americans, on October 7, 2023, will be a source of pride for their people and resistance, and will be passed down from generation to generation.

The jihadi organization will expel Israel from Palestine and Jerusalem, and this will happen soon, with the organization vowing to never forget and never forgive Israel's crimes, even if it takes time.

According to Conricus, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, the only way to save Israeli hostages is through an extortion deal, which was forced upon Israel due to international pressure preventing it from exerting enough leverage and pressure on Hamas in Gaza.

IDF Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi (Res) stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that the government's top priority is currently rescuing the hostages. The situation is dire, and urgent action is required. However, the government is not willing to give up on destroying Hamas and establishing a new reality in Gaza. The government intends to resume fighting after the initial stage unless another cease-fire is reached to secure the release of all hostages.

Caroline Glick, a knowledgeable Israeli commentator, stated on her podcast that Israel is being perpetually stuck in a position where it cannot achieve victory due to the cease-fire's effects.

The cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah, Hamas' main ally in the region, was reached at a time when Hamas' military power had been significantly weakened.

Since October, Iran has not launched any new attacks against Israel in response to Jerusalem's counterattack.

Israel will release up to 2,000 Palestinian terrorists, including over a hundred serving life sentences, as part of a deal that includes deep concessions.

The expectation is that Palestinian terrorists who have previously held Israeli hostages will return to fight Israel.

On Monday, TPS-IL reported that approximately 20,000 terrorists from Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other terrorist groups have been killed in the war. On Sunday, it was also reported that Izz al-Din Haddad, commander of Hamas’s Northern Brigade, who oversaw Sunday’s transfer of three Israeli hostages to the Red Cross, has been appointed as the new Hamas leader to rebuild the terror organization.
