After War Ends, Israel Will Maintain Military Control of Gaza
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - Israel will maintain military control of Gaza once the war against Hamas is over, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday. Referring to the recent counterterror operation inside a hospital in the West Bank city of Jenin, he said, "This is military freedom of operation at the highest level, and yet we don't control the area in a civilian sense. This is achievable [in Gaza as well], and it will take time." He added that the work of destroying Hamas' existing military infrastructure "is finite" and is moving forward despite significant challenges.
