Even without arms sales, Hamas is still much weaker than Israel. To put things in perspective, the Oct. 7 militant attack consisted of about 2,900 fighters. The people, they killed 1,139 people. Presumably, all 2,900 militants armed. The memberships of Hamas are estimated at 20,000 or 25,000. Perhaps as high as 30,000. Hamas is not an existential threat to Israel. Hamas is considered a terrorist organization, not a standing army with modern weapons and heavy equipment. It is like saying Al-Qaeda could take over the entire United States. The threat is simply not there. Al-Qaeda are like flies, the US military is like Godzilla.
