Israeli military approves operational plans to expand campaign in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military has approved operational plans to expand its campaign in the Gaza Strip, with a focus on capturing Gaza City.
Israeli Chief of General Staff, Eyal Zamir, gave the approval on Wednesday, stressing the need for increased troop readiness and preparedness for reserve recruitment.
The Israeli Security Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is planning take control of Gaza City and potentially the entire Gaza Strip to eliminate Hamas, although the timeframe for the operation remains unclear, with reports suggesting a two-month preparation period may be needed.
Zamir has, however, expressed skepticism about the plan, warning that it could put soldiers and hostages believed to be held in Gaza City at risk, but despite concerns, the military is moving forward with preparations for the operation.
