Israel said its military is starting to shift from a large-scale ground and air campaign in the Gaza Strip to a more targeted phase in its war against Hamas, and Israeli officials have privately told their American counterparts that they hoped the transition would be completed by the end of January, U.S. officials said.

Israel’s disclosure came as Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken was expected in Israel to press officials there to curtail their campaign in Gaza and to prevent the war from spreading across the region, particularly in the aftermath of an Israeli strike last week that killed senior Hamas leaders in Lebanon and as Hezbollah said one of its commanders was killed in a strike in the country.

Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the chief spokesman for the Israeli military, said the new phase of the campaign involved fewer troops and airstrikes. U.S. officials said they expected the transition to rely more on surgical missions by smaller groups of elite Israeli forces that would move in and out of population centers in the Gaza Strip to find and kill Hamas leaders, rescue hostages and destroy tunnels.

That's what happens when there's nothing left to bomb...

Since Gaza is now mostly flat. IDF bombings will focus on the few remaining buildings...

How nice of them to offer to reduce the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians.

[–] BeanGoblin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 8 months ago

Yeah, now they will know for sure which civilians they are killing.

"Don't worry, we just did a little genocide this time, we'll do a little more this month and then wind it down for next time!"

An orgy of fuck, same as it ever was.

Now that they're mostly done flattening Gaza, they're not trying to destroy their ability to resist for their eventual takeover of the strip.
