Hamas and PIJ re-entered the hospital by land. The tunnels in and around the hospital have been destroyed. The IDF was able to kill and arrest the terrorists in the hospital pretty quickly, with no civilian deaths in the process. It was a major success. Sure it would be better if they never re-entered the hospital, but I think pockets of insurgency and re-emergence are probably to be expected.

Hamas's ability to hold onto these places when they re-take them though is far diminished. Their tunnel network is in very poor shape, their weapons supply is surely being depleted, and thousands of their fighters are dead or arrested. They're going to fight to the bitter end (they're insane suicidal terrorists after all), but they are not as strong as they were when the war started. They are scattered, disorganized, and isolated.
