Hamas has preformed better than most were expecting. Again this isn't a "hamas is winning in two weeks" cope post but they're still alive with the tunnels intact. Turning Gaza into stalingrad with no clear way to breach the tunnels, was always going to take a long ass time.
I don't report untruths just basic information that is easily verifiable. For example the US just took 13 casualties with three Kia in Jordan.

hamas hides in tunnels and lost or injured 50% of its members.
Israel lost 200 soldiers... so we done better than we expected we thought we will have around 500 - 700 deaths.

You're correct: hamas conditions for victory is to literally just survive. Their goal is to try and outwait the idf in hopes it will retreat from Gaza due to external pressures like the northern front.
If Israel wants to take down hamas they basically have to take the Philadelphi line and stop the smuggling from Egypt into rafah. Then the idf has to play forever war in a guerilla setting that's gives every possible advantage to the defender.
There's a reason why even Americans never raided tunnels in vietnam; it's too deadly and tunnels are notoriously easy to boobytrap. Israel can't gas the tunnels due to the hostages (,they killed 2 israelies this way and the public outrage was significant)
Therefore we can conclude that the only feasible way to destroy hamas is to accept that the hostages can't be rescued and it will take a couple of years to starve/flush out hamas.
Or bibi gets a ceasefire with hamas in the interm and then launches a strike on beruit and drags the US against Iran. This is the situation that seems more likely at this point.
Hamas is done its just a matter of time.
BIBI doesn't look for a ceasefire he looks to release the hostages without binding ceasefire.

https://www.ynetnews.com/article/h1wp1rncpA surge in ammunition usage during the wars in Gaza and Ukraine has triggered an unprecedented global shortage across all types of ammunition. And while the IDF avoids public discussion of the issue, Major General Eliezer Toledano acknowledged last month a reduction in air attacks, underscoring the imperative to "manage the economy of armaments" in anticipation of a protracted war.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed these concerns, articulating the need for U.S. support with a succinct plea: "We need three things from the U.S.: armaments, armaments, armaments." In a recent press conference, Netanyahu declared Israel's intent to diminish reliance on global sources, a challenging objective that has raised skepticism about its feasibility
