The Chief of Staff and the head of the Shin Bet made a decision - to coordinate an effort against the weapons sites, which are considered the "secret hubs" of Hamas that include documents and intelligence information, and at the same time to attack Hamas actions to demonstrate governance.
Officials in the IDF pointed to the increase in targeted countermeasures against senior police officers in the past week as part of the policy to prevent Hamas from ruling the Gaza Strip.
"This trend will continue.
There is no directive to stop, and we believe that this pressure will lead to and accelerate negotiations for the abductees under better conditions," said a senior officer.
He further added that "at the end of Khan Yunis there is a limited number of sites and underground systems. As for Rafah? We are planning and preparing."
