The Israeli army is planning a massive mobilization of midfielder to replace troops on the northern border and the west bank before the widening of the Gaza war.
The Israeli armed forces send the dozens of thousands of midfielder to the planned extension of the offensive against Hamas in Gaza. According to AFP and DPA reports, TASR reports this.
Some midfielders are supposed to replace regular units that are currently deployed on the northern border or on the west bank to be subsequently sent to the Gaza Strip, the Israeli media reported. The army spokesman did not confirm or refute these reports. A large offensive could start in the coming days, the Israeli news portal Ynet said. The Israeli Security Cabinet is to negotiate on Sunday to expand the war in Gaza. According to Israeli media reports, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already agreed with such plans.
The current Gaza war was triggered by unprecedented attacks on Israel led by the Hamas militant movement, October 7, 2023, which killed approximately 1,200 people and more than 250 were kidnapped. According to Israel, 59 hostages who are still detained in Gaza are no longer alive.
Israel is trying to intensify its attacks to put pressure on the Palestinian extremist group Hamas to release the remaining hostages. The Israeli army 18. March restored its attacks in the Gaza band after an almost two -month ceasefire. Jerusalem Post said that planned mobilization is massive, but still significantly smaller than immediately after the Hamas attack from October 2023.
