Netanyahu insisted on continuing the Hebron incursion contrary to the military's position on the need to stop it, claiming it 'achieved its goals'

Israeli media reported a disagreement between Netanyahu, Chief of Staff Zamir, and Defense Minister Katz over the continuation of the Hebron incursion. Zamir recommended ending the operation as it achieved its goals, while Netanyahu and Katz insisted on continuing and intensifying it to eliminate Hamas infrastructure.

Israeli media reported a disagreement between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Chief of Staff of the occupation army Eyal Zamir, and Defense Minister Israel Katz regarding the continuation of the incursion into the city of Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank. According to reports, Zamir recommended ending the military operation in Hebron, considering it had achieved its direct goals related to the local infrastructure that the army classifies as 'terrorist', and that continued intensive deployment could increase friction, endanger soldiers' lives, and cause wider escalation. In contrast, Netanyahu and Katz rejected the recommendation and issued instructions to the military to continue and intensify the aggression until the complete elimination of Hamas infrastructure in Hebron, emphasizing the need to adopt the offensive model applied in the refugee camps in the northern West Bank. This disagreement comes against the backdrop of a shooting incident last Friday that resulted in the deaths of two soldiers and injuries to three others. The article describes the incursion as collective punishment targeting the city's residents.
