In a significant development, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has issued a statement indicating a major shift in Israel’s approach towards the situation in Gaza.
Speaking to troops stationed on the Gaza border, Gallant declared a change in strategy, moving from restraint to a completely offensive stance.
The security chief announced the release of all restraints previously in place, signalling a shift towards a more aggressive posture.
He stated that Israeli forces had regained control of the area, suggesting that military operations were being escalated in response to recent developments.
The Defence Minister declared that Israel was transitioning into a full offensive mode, indicating a heightened military response.
His words:
“I have released all the restraints, we have control of the area, and we are moving to a full offence. Hamas wanted a change in Gaza; it would change 180 degrees from what it thought. They will regret this moment, and Gaza will never return to what it was.”
Gallant conveyed a stern warning to Hamas, the ruling authority in Gaza, indicating that the organisation would regret its actions. He asserted that Gaza would undergo a significant transformation from its current state.
The Defence Minister suggested that Gaza would not return to its previous condition, implying a fundamental shift in the region’s dynamics.
This announcement is expected to have significant implications for the ongoing conflict and may lead to further regional developments.
