A turning point in the war in the Middle East. The Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, publicly stated that Tel Aviv troops are operating inside Gaza City and surrounding it from different directions: “We have reached a significant phase of war. , forces are in the heart of northern Gaza, operating in Gaza City, surrounding it. The forces fight in a dense and complex urban area, which requires professional combat and courage. Land forces are accompanied by careful intelligence and air and sea fire. This partnership makes the fight much more effective.”
The chief of staff, speaking at an Israeli air force base, also made it known that fuel will be allowed to enter the Gaza Strip for use in hospitals: “We monitor the situation every day, the fuel will be transferred, under supervision, to hospitals and we will do everything to ensure that this does not serve Hamas’ military objectives.” Halevi then sent a final signal to Palestinian terrorists, making clear that what has been done is just the beginning: “In Gaza we operate with less than half our air force and we are ready to open other fronts if necessary. We are deeply committed to doing everything we can to bring all hostages home.” Hamas is warned.
