ID’s sources pointed out that IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Benny Gantz has reiterated that the IDF is preparing for a major campaign in Gaza, as a result of recent rocket shootings.
Those same sources indicated the aim of the coming campaign may be to split the strip into several sections, a takeover of the Philadelphi Axis between Gaza and Egypt, and even the toppling of the Hammas government.
