Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has outlined Israel’s plans for the next phase of its assault on the besieged Gaza Strip and future scenarios for the day after the war ends.

“In the northern region of the Gaza strip, we will transition to a new combat approach in accordance with military achievements on the ground,” Gallant’s office said in a statement it said outlined the guiding principles reflecting Gallant’s vision for the next phases of the war on Thursday.

He said operations would include raids, demolishing tunnels, air and ground strikes, and special forces operations.

In the south of the besieged enclave – where most of Gaza’s 2.3 million population is now living, many in tents and other temporary shelters – the operation would continue to try to eliminate Hamas leaders and rescue Israeli hostages.

"It will continue for as long as is deemed necessary,” the statement said.

“As long as is deemed necessary,” roughly translates to, “As long as Palestinians exist as an ethnic group,”

Ah, so that's why they do not actually try to kill them...?

Why are they not just bombing those 2 millions is that is the case? Why use roof knocking and then precision bombs when they actually want to kill them all?

Dropping 2000lb bombs in refugee camps is not "precision bombs"

"precise enough."

For context, the largest bomb dropped by the US in Iraq and Afghanistan in a populated area was 500 pounds.

Then why does it fit so well with Israel's history of violently conquering their neighbors?

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Refuge camp by name only or actual refuge camp?
