IDF: This Is The Next Phase Of Military Operations
Following the effective conclusion of Operation Gideon's Chariots, the IDF has now proposed a next phase of operations in the event Hamas refuses a hostage deal.
The IDF has reportedly presented Israel's options for expansion of IDF operations in the Gaza Strip to the government, which include the encirclement of Gaza City and the camps in the center of the Strip, according to a report today (Tuesday) by Channel 12 News.
According to the report, the IDF is prepared to encircle these areas and divide the Strip in ways it has not done before or only done partially. In addition, it has proposed moving the entire Gazan population southwards to areas like Rafah, where they would be less of a hindrance to IDF operations and where they would likely be able to receive aid from the GHF in a much more orderly and safe fashion than the current aid distribution system in the north.
