Security establishment warns: This is Hamas's next campaign ahead of winter in Gaza

Military sources warn that Hamas plans to exploit winter damage and destroyed infrastructure in Gaza to increase international pressure on Israel. Meanwhile, aid organizations warn of a severe sanitary crisis and demand the entry of equipment for rehabilitating water and sewage infrastructure, while Israeli concerns are that the equipment will be used by Hamas to produce weapons.

Military sources warned today that Hamas plans to exploit the approaching winter damage and destroyed infrastructure in the Gaza Strip to exert heavy international pressure on Israel. At the center of Hamas leadership's demands: establishing wastewater treatment plants and rehabilitating water infrastructure to prevent the spread of diseases. International aid organizations warn of a severe sanitary crisis and are conveying urgent messages to security officials to accelerate the processes. All this against the backdrop of the agreement between Jerusalem and the White House that the rehabilitation of the Strip is conditional on the disarmament of Hamas, the demilitarization of the Strip from terrorist infrastructure, and the transfer of control to another entity other than the Palestinian Authority. Military sources claim that the issues are known and being handled but funding has not yet been found for part of the infrastructure rehabilitation, and during this time Hamas is exploiting it for a new campaign. The main concern is that Hamas will exploit the entry of engineering equipment and materials for rehabilitating its military wing and producing weapons.
