IDF recommends: implement the Ali Taher model in the heart of Gaza and dismantle the Hamas stronghold
Amid the political deadlock with the Peace Council and the US over the demilitarization of the Strip, the IDF is preparing for another maneuver scenario. Security establishment sources recommend implementing the Ali Taher Ridge model also in Gaza City, with the aim of capturing its heart, destroying terrorist infrastructure, and dismantling the Hamas leadership and senior members of its military wing hiding there.
Amid the political deadlock with the Peace Council and the US over the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, the IDF is preparing for another maneuver scenario in the Gaza Strip. Security establishment sources recommend implementing the Ali Taher Ridge model also in Gaza City, with the aim of capturing its heart, destroying terrorist infrastructure, and dismantling the Hamas leadership and senior members of its military wing hiding there. The political plan, which includes training thousands of Fatah members in Egypt as an alternative police force, is stalled due to Israeli opposition. According to the sources, Hamas continues to recruit new operatives, train them, and challenge the IDF along the yellow line, raising concerns in the security establishment. The previous model on Ali Taher Ridge was deemed successful, despite international objections.
