According to Dr. M. Mohammed Al-Dabbas, there is no absolute winner in the Gaza battle, which reveals a bitter truth.
Hamas's principled response is considered a smart response in two points: stopping the fighting and exchanging prisoners, while leaving other matters to international legitimacy and the internal Palestinian system.
The world questions who the winner is in this bloody battle: Israel, with its powerful military, or Hamas, with its limited means but strong will and endurance.
Israel's goals in entering the war were clear: to end Hamas, free hostages, and restore deterrence, but it has found itself in a strategic quagmire.
Author's summary: Gaza battle has no clear winner.
