New Israeli Army Chief To Present Plan To Restart Gaza Bombing and Retake Territory

The new head of the Israeli military is set to present his plan for the renewal of Israel’s campaign in Gaza and operations to retake territory that the IDF left during the first phase of the ceasefire deal, Haaretz reported on Thursday.

Eyal Zamir was sworn in as the IDF’s new chief of staff on Wednesday and vowed that Israel’s “mission” against Hamas has “not yet been completed,” and other Israeli officials have been threatening to restart the genocidal war at a level not seen before.

However, Israeli sources told Haaretz that they doubt the IDF will be able to draft the number of required reservists to enact Zamir’s plan, which requires several troops divisions to be deployed across Gaza. The report said many officers in the reserves have made clear they would not volunteer to return to combat in Gaza since they think it would only be done for political considerations.
