The officials say the death toll currently reported is not final and is expected to rise. The omission was mentioned at the outbreak of events. The intelligence officials took responsibility for the failure and said with whipping and pain that "there is no one to judge us more than we judge ourselves." According to them, the issue will be discussed and investigated later, and now is the time to concentrate on the fighting.
The discussion added: "Without going into operational details, the orders and cabinet orders that were passed on to the security agencies are different from what we have known to date, in terms of the scope and depth of activity in Gaza."

According to the report, the response policy in Gaza is changing. Until now he was used to "knocking on the roof" or not harming innocent people, and now it's over. Security officials talk about the need to control the situation and not react out of rage, anger or fear.
Security officials were precise in the terminology according to which the collapse of Hamas is not the right term, since an ideological idea cannot be toppled. The precise term is harming and weakening Hamas in such a way that it cannot recover from it.
