TEL AVIV—Israeli decision-makers plan to resume the Gaza war in four to six weeks with overwhelming force, sending in tens of thousands of troops to conquer the entire strip in a single coordinated offensive against Hamas.
Incoming military chief of staff Eyal Zamir has, at the direction of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defense minister Israel Katz, started developing the plan, according to several current and former Israeli officials with knowledge of high-level discussions. Under the plan, Israel will deploy more troops to Gaza than it has to this point in the war—over 50,000—before relocating the civilian population to humanitarian zones and waging a ruthless ground campaign against Palestinian terrorists across the rest of the strip.
"We’re going to see four to five divisions simultaneously attack in the north, in the center, and in the south, to occupy every area and clear out the enemy," said Hezi Nehama, a former Israeli colonel who co-authored the Generals’ Plan, an influential proposal for a staged siege of Gaza. "It will look different than what we saw in the war until now."
"It’s going to be decisive," said Amir Avivi, a former Israeli brigadier general who has advised the Israeli government and military during the war. "Israel will use every tool it has to conquer Gaza and eradicate Hamas." The plan starts with a wave of airstrikes on Gaza and a reduction of humanitarian aid to Gaza, the sources said. "There will be no aid outside the humanitarian zones," said Kobi Michael, a former head of the Palestinian desk at the Israel’s Strategic Affairs Ministry and before that a senior Israeli military intelligence official. "This will prevent Hamas from continuing to steal all the humanitarian aid and will increase pressure on the group through the local population.

Make it so.
Hamas will be having a very bad Easter this year. Couldn’t happen to a better group of animals. Imo.
Blow up the fence to Egypt and force them out into the Sinai
Kill anyone who ever thought about picking up a gun.
So... Let’s publicize this a month in advance just in case Hamas are last-minute planners.

...Israel’s government is set to approve on Sunday the option to call up an additional 400,000 reservists to reserve duty until May 29, 2025.
A copy of the proposal noted that 2025 will be considered a “year of war.”...

We’d lose a lot of people on this forum.
Tally-Ho!
I am more interested in the “Plan” to deal with Iran’s Nuclear program.
most terrible, I thought of this early on in the war. I believe I read Israel didn’t usually negotiate for hostages. I don’t know their history with wars well. So thankful some have been released.
Shovel all that debris out into the sea.
Israel has made a dozen hostage deals since Independence. All were lopsided and encouraged further hostage-taking, not to mention freed terrorists committing terrorist acts again.
One terrorist is on his third release in hostage exchanges.
Bombarding them with troops?
