The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth revealed the features of the fourth phase of the war on the Gaza Strip, which depends on a new strategy in combat.
According to a report prepared for Tel Aviv Tribune by Salam Khader, the newspaper explained that this stage, although its details are not yet complete, is based primarily on fighting exclusively on the ground.
The Israeli army will rely on intelligence information to carry out offensive operations against Palestinian resistance factions, and the main goal of this new tactic is to try to prevent the resistance from using or exiting the tunnels, which Israel considers to be a highly important infrastructure in fighting the occupation forces.
Israeli security and military levels believe that the resistance fighters remaining in the tunnels for a long period of time would put military and political pressure on them, which might push the political leadership of the resistance to accept the terms of a ceasefire.
