Intense Night in the Field
Soldiers on the ground described Thursday night as one of the most intense since the operation began. In a rapid move, over 250,000 Palestinians were relocated from Jabalya to designated shelter areas in just a few hours, according to security officials. The operation has seen a combined effort with air and ground strikes aimed at neutralizing terrorist positions while ensuring the safety of the local population.
Full-force Military Action
Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the Israeli forces are carrying out their mission with full strength. The military is striking hard at Hamas strongholds and clearing combat zones before entering each area. According to Katz, the foremost priority is the protection of both active and reserve soldiers. Once terrorists are neutralized and areas secured, the forces maintain their positions to prevent any resurgence of enemy activity.
Katz added that the militants now face a stark choice: either comply with the terms proposed for the hostages’ release or face total elimination. This message is being delivered as part of a broader strategy to dismantle Hamas’s infrastructure on every front.
Hostage Deal Talks Continue Amid the Operation
While the military advances according to a well-coordinated plan, discussions regarding a potential hostage release deal persist. Some observers note that the focus on these negotiations has shifted beyond the borders of the Gaza Strip following recent high-profile incidents. Hamas’s leadership is under significant pressure, which appears to be slowing its decision-making process.
For now, the IDF is following its operational timelines as set by the chief of staff, with adjustments scheduled as needed based on political directives. The approach emphasizes thorough preparation and extensive engineering efforts to prevent the reactivation of underground or surface terrorist infrastructure, even if this methodical pace contrasts with some expectations for rapid progress.
