Israeli forces have killed 20%-30% of Hamas’s fighters, the U.S. says—a toll that falls short so far of Israel's goals. Really!

I have my doubts that these U.S. estimates are correct. They might be politically motivated to persuade Israel to agree to a cease fire or more. What do you expect from a senile, demented and corrupt 46th U.S. President.

If correct, then Israel needs to continue its fight in the Gaza Strip.

"The first known U.S. estimate of the group’s casualties shows its resilience after months of war that have laid swaths of the Gaza Strip to ruin. The U.S. estimate also found that Hamas still has enough munitions to continue striking Israel and Israeli forces in Gaza for months, and that the group is attempting to reconstitute its police force in parts of Gaza City, according to U.S. officials who confirmed a classified report. Israeli military officials say the war could continue for many more months. However, the U.S, Egypt and Qatar are pushing Israel and Hamas to agree on a phased plan to end the war, starting with freeing hostages. Neither side has agreed to the terms of the new proposal, but people briefed on the talks said Israel and Hamas at least were again willing to engage in discussions."
