According to a report released by the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, Hamas has amassed a formidable force, some 20,000 loyal gunmen ready to fight for the terrorist organization�s cause.

The force is reportedly trained inside Gaza as well as in both Iran and Syria, and is a redoubtable force by any definition of the word.

According to the report, at present, Hamas presents a greater threat to southern Israeli residents and the IDF then ever in the past, and the terror organization continues efforts towards becoming even more powerful in the future.
