Israel Adjusts Battle Tactics in Gaza's South to Target Hamas Leadership
(Wall Street Journal) David S. Cloud - Israel's military said it is adding forces to destroy tunnels and undertaking targeted raids aimed at Hamas' leadership in southern Gaza, after visiting U.S. officials pressed for a tactical shift away from larger-scale operations. The new moves are a response to the demands of southern Gaza's densely populated battle zone, Israeli officials said. Israeli officials said the use of targeted raids in Khan Yunis isn't a response to U.S. pressure. Israel's military leadership has said repeatedly they are conducting the war on their own terms.
