IDF Ready to Move Against Hamas in Gaza If Hostage Talks Fail
(Jerusalem Post) Amir Bohbot - IDF sources expect the Israeli government to authorize military operations in Gaza if no last-minute breakthrough occurs in the hostage deal. The military has expanded the bank of potential Hamas targets across Gaza. "This target bank will enable the government to escalate operations in stages to apply pressure on Hamas leadership if negotiations for a hostage release stall," the sources said. At this stage, airstrikes against targets in Gaza have intensified, alongside increased fire at Palestinians sent to confront IDF soldiers in buffer zones.
