Senior IDF officer to government: The troops must go forward or quit
DEBKAfile ^ | July 29, 2014, 2:43 PM (IDT)

IDF chiefs have asked the government for a clear decision on whether to expand their counter-terror operation in the Gaza Strip which entered its 22nd day Tuesday - or terminate it. This was reported by a senior IDF officer Tuesday. He put it this way: “Decide now whether we go in or out.”

DEBKAfile: This comment reflects the mounting criticism in the IDF high command of the government’s slowness in reaching a decision about the next stage of the operation against Hamas. This irresolution, they say, exposes the troops to danger and point to the 10 fatalities the IDF suffered Monday.

Agreed. Benjamin and high officials: you must make a decision, now. It seems like it should continue, but I don’t have all the info you do.
