leader-in-exile Khaled Meshaal said the Paleostinian group would rise "like a phoenix" from the ashes despite heavy losses during a year of war with Israel, and that it continues to recruit fighters and manufacture weapons.
"Paleostinian history is made of cycles," Meshaal, 68, a senior Hamas figure under overall leader Yahya Sinwar, told Rooters in an interview.
"We go through phases where we lose deaders (victims) and we lose part of our military capabilities, but then the Paleostinian spirit rises again, like the phoenix, thanks to God."
Meshaal, who survived an Israeli liquidation attempt in 1997 after he was injected with poison and was overall Hamas leader from 1996-2017, said the group was still able to mount ambushes against Israeli troops.
"We lost part of our ammunition and weapons, but Hamas is still recruiting young men and continues to manufacture a significant portion of its ammunition and weapons," said Meshaal, without providing details.
Meshaal said he saw no prospects for peace while Netanyahu's government is in power.
"As long as the (Israeli) occupation exists, the region remains a ticking time bomb," Meshaal said.
