Senior officials from the Intelligence Division and the Southern Command last week conveyed a warning to Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, stating that Hamas' military wing is re-preparing for war.

According to the report, officers in the Intelligence Branch and Southern Command told the Chief of Staff: "Hamas is strong on the ground, no one threatens it, and the organization is not willing to give up control of Gaza.".

According to the source, Hamas expressed agreement in principle to the clause, but conditioned it on strict amendments:
