Hamas' show of force:

Hamas appears to be emerging from tunnels and rubble in Gaza to show that it never lost control of most of the area despite 15 months of war.

While Hamas suffered many blows from the IDF
1. it was able to recruit new members
2. it even kept trucks and vans ready to return to the streets No shortage of fuel for them...
3. and show its presence.

Palestinian media such as Quds has shown the images and videos from Gaza,
1. depicting this as a Hamas victory.
2. They portray the videos as showing “Palestinian factions,” and not just Hamas.
3. They also show civilians celebrating alongside the gunmen.

Shehab media, which is linked to Hamas, also has put out videos showing the “victory” they claim in Gaza.

One shows masses of Hamas gunmen in a stylized video, clearly produced for this moment, with the men appearing to emerge from a kind of tunnel.

Another image Shehab put out shows October 7 with Hamas pulling a wounded Israeli soldier out of a tank that Hamas destroyed, and contrasts it with Hamas holding aloft rifles on top of white trucks in Gaza, declaring victory.
