Israel officer warns of Gaza disaster

An Israeli report reveals that former Israeli military officer, Ofer Winter, warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the potential fall of 15,000 Israeli soldiers during a large-scale ground operation in the Gaza Strip following the October 7 attack. Winter proposed an alternative involving the imposition of a comprehensive military blockade on the sector, warning of catastrophic outcomes including buildings collapsing, soldiers being kidnapped, and numerous casualties. Winter denied the accuracy of his prediction of such a number but confirmed that he had presented a military plan for a short and smart operation. This comes amid ongoing controversy over the Israeli army's performance in Gaza, as tensions continue to escalate ahead of the upcoming elections.
