why is it important:

Behind the Scenes:
The head of the Shin Bet also stated at the meeting that the operation achieved a strategic goal of separating Hamas and the Islamic Jihad. Senior security officials emphasized that this separation must be maintained.
Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked asked in the debate why the IDF does not attack "power targets" in Gaza such as high-rise buildings used by the Islamic Jihad.
Senior security officials replied to Shaked that attacks of this type could drag Hamas into the conflict - something that Israel is trying to prevent.
Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz, on the other hand, called for an end to the operation.
He claimed that the goal of the operation - harming the Islamic Jihad - has been achieved and it should end before there are unnecessary harm to Palestinian civilians.
"We tried to prevent one launch and we got 400 launches," Horowitz said.
"This was the quietest year in the Strip and the residents of the Otaf won a rare peace thanks to a new and smart policy of the government, and with our own hands we returned ourselves to the situation that was before. Now we have to stop."
