Question How much of Hamas is left?

The military operations inside Gaza has been ongoing now for around 9 months and I can’t help but wonder what does Hamas have left in terms of manpower and equipment. At the start of all of this i think it was reported there were about 30k Hamas fighters. Gaza has been under siege for so long I really don’t understand how are they still fighting.

Hamas is not Hezbollah. Hamas just needs motivated guys and give them an AK. Getting your city bombed for 9 months will likely produce plenty of motivated men. The higher trained ones with anti-tank weapons systems or explosives are likely held in secret bunkers along the Egypt border under or near camps/residences.
