Highlights: The IDF will be instructed to take over humanitarian aid and distribute it directly to the Gazans. This means that the army will be forced to deal with the civilian aspects of the Strip as well. The issue is only at the beginning of the examination process in the army, and more may change. The IDF stated that they will act in accordance with the decisions of the political level. In the meantime, Defense Minister Yoav Galant told the members of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee: "The work of eliminating terrorist infrastructure is hard work... but it is final"


The political echelon formulates a plan on how not to allow the terrorist organization to take control of the trucks • The plan is formulated against the background of the criticism and protest in Israel that the trucks are reaching Hamas • The meaning: the army will be forced to deal with civilian aspects in the Gaza Strip • The IDF: We will act according to the decision of the political echelon


The introduction of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, and the fact that Hamas takes control of it, disturbs the senior political and military officials and provokes widespread public criticism. 

Now they are trying to solve the problem: "Israel Today" has learned that these days the army is formulating a plan that will try to prevent humanitarian aid from reaching Hamas, according to the directive of the political echelon.

According to the plan that is currently being considered, the army and international bodies will be forced to be the ones to distribute the aid directly to the citizens of Gaza.

Hard and complex work - but final

This means that the army will be forced to deal with the civilian aspects of the Strip as well, something it is not interested in at all.

According to the initial proposals, a defined humanitarian complex will be established, first in the north of the Strip and in its center, and that is where the Gazan citizens will arrive.

It should be noted that the issue is only at the beginning of the examination process in the army, and more may change.

The IDF stated that they will act in accordance with the decisions of the political level.

Also, after many weeks in which the censorship did not allow publication of the water injection into the Hamas tunnels, it was announced that several units in the IDF and the Ministry of Defense jointly developed tools to inject high-power water into Hamas tunnels in the Gaza Strip, as part of a variety of tools used by the IDF to neutralize tunnels.

The IDF stated: "This tool is a significant engineering and technological breakthrough in dealing with the underground challenge, and it was developed through the joint work of various bodies in the defense system."

In the meantime, Defense Minister Yoav Galant told the members of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee: "The work of eliminating terrorist infrastructure is hard work, it is complex, it has costs, but it is final. And we are making progress in this matter."

According to him, "The State of Israel has two goals in the Gaza Strip, and a significant condition to implement them: the elimination of Hamas as a military and governmental organization, and the return of the kidnapped to their homes."
