Haaretz: Army sets 40 positions in Gaza and intensifies operations without US pressure
The article reviews the efforts of the Israeli military to take control of the Gaza Strip, noting that approximately 40 positions have been established as they advance into the territory and expand westward beyond the green line, resulting in control over about 60% of the area. Estimates indicate that around 98% of Hamas and Islamic Jihad’s missile stockpiles have been destroyed, along with 80% of the tunnels and hideouts within the sector. Nevertheless, the military believes that the military threat from Hamas remains limited, and Israel is working to reduce the use of fighter jets in favor of small arms and drones to minimize civilian casualties, who are estimated at roughly 0.6 civilian deaths for every armed combatant. There are still fears of potential attacks by Hamas or Hezbollah, and Israel faces challenges in maintaining trust with residents in nearby settlements amid difficult living conditions and psychological scars. A careful assessment is needed to determine whether a large-scale military campaign against Hamas will be launched under the current circumstances.
