    No, Hamas forces are steadily getting smaller. If there are new recruits, they are not enough to make up for the losses.

        Your link:

        Hamas may have lost half its battalion commanders by December, while half its battalions had been broken down as well.

        The article suggests that they can recruit in the future, and maybe they can. Or maybe Palestinian militants will join a different organization, as I suggested.

        But for now, Hamas is definitely smaller than they were in October.
