Israeli Chief of Staff: Operations in Gaza Lack a Clear Political Objective and Endanger the Lives of Hostages

Israeli Channel 13 revealed today, Sunday, citing an informed source, that the Chief of Staff of the Israeli army expressed his concern about the repeated entry of forces into the same areas in the Gaza Strip without a clear political objective guiding the military operations.

The source added that the Chief of Staff warned that the continuation of operations in this manner endangers the lives of Israeli hostages held in Gaza, noting that their situation is deteriorating with the escalation of confrontations.

These statements come at a time when criticisms are increasing within Israel regarding the absence of a clear strategy in the war on Gaza, amid calls to reassess the military and political objectives of the operation.
