Military Operation in Northern Gaza: Implementing the Generals' Plan

Two military experts have revealed that the recent military operation launched by the Israeli army in the northern Gaza Strip is a significant shift from previous strategies. Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi stated that this operation aims to execute the 'generals' plan,' which seeks to gain absolute control over the northern Gaza region and evacuate its population. The area, which is home to approximately 350,000 to 700,000 people, is targeted for a military strategy that aligns with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's vision of redrawing the Middle East. Reports indicate that the operation includes a blockade of the northern Gaza Strip, a cessation of humanitarian aid, and the forced evacuation of residents.

The plan, as reported by Israeli Army Radio, has been approved by Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant, focusing on creating a closed military zone in northern Gaza. The military experts emphasized that this operation is not only about targeting Hamas fighters but also about implementing a broader strategy to reshape the region. Al-Duwairi likened the military approach to a pair of pliers, executing a double maneuver to secure key areas while allowing for civilian evacuation routes. He warned that the success of this operation largely depends on the resistance's ability to counter these aggressive tactics.

Implications of the Generals' Plan

Retired Lebanese brigadier general Elias Hanna corroborated Al-Duwairi's analysis, explaining that the Israeli army has already occupied significant portions of the Gaza Strip, including the Netzarim and Philadelphi axes. The new offensive, which involves armored brigades advancing from multiple directions, aims to disrupt the resistance that has emerged following previous military withdrawals. This operation is seen as part of a larger displacement strategy, which could confine Gaza's residents to specific areas.

Hanna pointed out that the current military actions are also a response to the rehabilitation of Hamas' military capabilities, indicating that Israel is committed to preventing any resurgence of organized resistance. The ongoing siege and military operations have exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, raising concerns about the future of its civilian population as the Israeli military seeks to implement its strategic objectives.
