Israel is not currently prepared to win a conflict with the Hamas terror organization if it involves invading and occupying Gaza in the long term, according to one Congressman.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) face a “particularly perilous moment” as they prepare to possibly occupy Gaza and eliminate Hamas, said Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), the ranking member for the House Armed Services Committee.
