Ok, at least now we know the terms of loss and victory for Hamas. Hamas is gunning for a destabilizing of Israel, by destroying the relations Israel has with its neighbors.
So that is what victory is from a Hamas perspective. This makes it pretty clear what would make victory from an Israeli perspective. That would be to remain a stable and prosperous player in the Middle East.
So in a way, we at least now know, what it is that Hamas is playing for.
They are wise in that manner, you must give them that.
G-d bless the will to be in the understanding of the war, and how we may be on the winning team.
