IDF Draws Up New Gaza War Doctrine
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - The IDF has drawn up plans to evacuate entire Palestinian villages from areas of conflict in the event of an Israeli incursion, the Jerusalem Post has learned. The IDF has prepared an operational doctrine on how forces should operate when fighting within areas populated by civilians. According to the new doctrine for Gaza, ahead of a large-scale operation, the IDF would give prior notification to residents and designate an amount of time they would be given to leave. The IDF would also enter potential conflict zones more slowly to permit residents to evacuate the area.
