\nIn recent weeks, Israel has eliminated several top Hamas officials, including Abd al-Latif al-Qanou, the group\u2019s spokesperson; Ashraf al-Gharabawi, intelligence chief of the al-Qassam Brigades; and Ahmad al-Kayali, who oversaw Hamas\u2019s internal security coordination. In addition, five members of Hamas\u2019s political bureau and several senior figures in its military and administrative structures have been killed.<\/p>\n

\nDespite Hamas’s efforts to protect its leadership, sources told the Saudi outlet Asharq Al-Awsat <\/em>that the group has established \u201crevolutionary courts\u201d to investigate suspected collaborators, with some executions already carried out. However, even the group\u2019s tightened internal security measures have failed to prevent what appears to be remarkably accurate Israeli intelligence-led strikes.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/shadow3.jpg\")
\nHow Is Israel Gathering Its Intelligence?<\/strong>
\nSources in Gaza suggest that during the 58-day ceasefire, Israeli intelligence agencies used the relative calm to gather vital information on Hamas operatives using advanced surveillance drones, AI-powered analysis, and interception of Hamas\u2019s internal communications.<\/p>\n
\nIsrael reportedly deployed miniature drones to drop surveillance devices into Gaza and planted hidden cameras in key locations, some allegedly placed by undercover Israeli operatives disguised as civilians. These devices can match voices with older recordings, helping identify senior figures even when they relocate or go into hiding.<\/p>\n
\nAccording to the sources, during public ceremonies held by Hamas to mark the hostage release deal, Israeli intelligence monitored the appearances of commanders and fighters, using the events to update its target list and gather valuable visual intel on top Hamas figures.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/shadow-5.jpg\")

Reports from within the organization describe internal restructuring, shifts to underground bunkers, and heightened security protocols\u2014but so far, Israeli capabilities have left Hamas leaders with few safe havens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
