Israeli decision-makers plan to resume the Gaza war in four to six weeks with shock and awe, sending in tens of thousands of troops to conquer the entire strip in a single coordinated offensive against Hamas terrorists.
Incoming military chief of staff Eyal Zamir has, at the direction of Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, started developing the plan, according to several current and former Israeli officials with knowledge of high-level discussions.
Israel plans to deploy more soldiers in Gaza than it had previously used--more than 50,000 troops, before relocating civilian Hamas supporters to humanitarian zones. The IDF will then wage a
Under the plan, Israel will deploy more troops to Gaza than it has to this point in the war—over 50,000—before relocating the civilian population to humanitarian zones and waging a merciless ground campaign against Arab terrorists across the rest of the Gaza Strip.
“We’re going to see four to five divisions simultaneously attack in the north, in the center, and in the south, to occupy every area and clear out the enemy,” Hezi Nehama said. He is a former IDF colonel who co-authored the Generals’ Plan, an influential proposal for a staged siege of Gaza. “It will look different than what we saw in the war until now.”
“It’s going to be decisive,” said Amir Avivi, a former Israeli brigadier general who has advised the Israeli government and military during the war. “Israel will use every tool it has to conquer Gaza and eradicate Hamas.”

It's about time. In the past, the fighting always ended with Hamas and Israel's enemies still intact. This needs to change and Israel must protect itself from future attacks. They need to control all of Gaza and rid the country of Hamassholes, Hezbollah, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and their ilk.
The plan begins with a wave of airstrikes on Gaza and a reduction of humanitarian aid to Gaza, the sources said. “There will be no aid outside the humanitarian zones,” said Kobi Michael, a former head of the Palestinian desk at the Israel’s Strategic Affairs Ministry and before that a senior Israeli military intelligence official.
After all, what army in human history supplied their foes with supplies? And the world expects this from Israel because the world is rooting for the other teams.
“This will prevent Hamas from continuing to steal all the humanitarian aid and will increase pressure on the group through the local population,” Michael added.
Nehama said Israel plans to expand an existing humanitarian zone in Al-Mawasi in southern Gaza into a single giant refuge. Other sources said there would be several humanitarian zones.
The IDF raised its alert and readiness level along the Gaza border on Sunday, and Hamas has also reportedly started making preparations for renewed fighting.
Zamir, the incoming military chief of staff, estimates that the plan, which he will present to Netanyahu and Katz after taking office next Thursday, can be completed in six months or less, according to Nehama.
The plan could be paused if Hamas agrees to release more of the 59 Israeli hostages still held in Gaza, 35 of them confirmed dead, or to disarm and leave Gaza in exchange for an end to the war, the sources said. But the chances of the latter happening is as likely as Mahmoud Abbas converting to Judaism.

Israeli decision-makers agree and don't believe Hamas is ready to make such compromises. After all, the hostages are the only bargaining chip for the terrorists and if they release them, then Israel can go all-out war on the terrorists.
Israel’s plan to resume the war comes on the heels of a string of military and diplomatic successes that leave the Jewish state less constrained than at any previous point in the past 17 months of war, thanks to President Trump.
Hezbollah agreed in November to a humiliating ceasefire with Israel, easing pressure on Israel’s overstretched army, but it's not crazy to think given enough time to regroup, resupply and replenish troops that Hezbollah will stay out of the anti-Zionist fray.
“We always had divisions in the north, and now we don’t need divisions in the north because Hezbollah is not a threat,” said Nehama. “So we can take those divisions and put them all in Gaza at the same time, and this is very important.”

In January, President Trump began reversing former alleged president Joe Biden’s efforts to restrain Israel and accommodate its genocidal enemies.
Trump has aligned more closely with Israel against Hezbollah and Iran and ended the Biden handler[s] restrictions on U.S. military aid to Israel.
In Gaza, meanwhile, Trump has taken an even harder line than Bibi, pushing the prime minister to resume the war with Hamas and resettle Gazans abroad.
During Netanyahu’s visit to the White House earlier this month, Trump told the prime minister to “do whatever you need to do” to defeat Hamas, according to an Israeli military official who described the meeting on condition of anonymity. But, the official said, Trump gave Netanyahu just 150 days to finish the job.

And this appears to be Bibi's plan.
Israel’s government, meanwhile, has replaced a number of top security officials who resisted deeper involvement in Gaza, including former defense minister Yoav Gallant and outgoing military chief of staff Herzi Halevi, with generals who are considered more hawkish. They had the same historical cyclic strategy to fight, stop, wait, and fight again after the enemy has regained its military strength.

Israel has got to stop trying to be the good guys in order to win the love of the world. It isn't going to happen anyway, so they need to finish the job and let the haters hate.
An Israeli government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that in recent cabinet meetings, ministers have “completely rejected” Halevi’s approach to Gaza and accused him of “doing everything he can to prevent victory in the war,” the World Israel News reported.
“Behind the scenes, there are discussions with Zamir, which are much more constructive,” the anonymous official said. “We hope to see him take leadership of the military and execute his plans.”
In a meeting early February with Netanyahu, Katz and Yaron Finkelman, the head of Israel’s Southern Command, Zamir rejected Halevi’s latest proposal for the Gaza war as too timid, according to Nehama and another former Israeli military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
“The next chief of staff didn’t like what he heard,” Nehama said. “He told the prime minister and the defense minister that he would present them with another plan, much more aggressive and decisive with many more troops involved.”

As I said before, the ridiculous cycle of war between Israel and her enemies has got to end here and now. The Jewish State needs to end the war by ending Hamas and all others who would see the demise of the Jews in Israel and then globally.
It must end now.
Am Yisrael Chai.
