Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has outlined Israel’s plans for the next phase of its assault on the besieged Gaza Strip and future scenarios for the day after the war ends.

“In the northern region of the Gaza strip, we will transition to a new combat approach in accordance with military achievements on the ground,” Gallant’s office said in a statement it said outlined the guiding principles reflecting Gallant’s vision for the next phases of the war on Thursday.

He said operations would include raids, demolishing tunnels, air and ground strikes, and special forces operations.

In the south of the besieged enclave – where most of Gaza’s 2.3 million population is now living, many in tents and other temporary shelters – the operation would continue to try to eliminate Hamas leaders and rescue Israeli hostages.

"It will continue for as long as is deemed necessary,” the statement said.

    Man, upwards of 90% of ALL munitions expended in Afghanistan by Coalition forces were guided ‘smart’ munitions. Afghanistan, as you may note, is not incredibly densely populated.

    Israel has been using about 50% ‘dumb’ unguided munitions in Gaza, one of the most densely populated regions in the world.

    Tales of exceptional precision in this campaign are propaganda bullshit.
