An assessment by officers in the Central Command: After the elections, IDF forces will withdraw from the city of Hebron, claiming the operation has exhausted itself and is generating tensions that serve as "fuel" for inspirational attacks and incitement. The officers explained that the activity over the past 24 hours is pointless and harms the legitimacy of the operational activity. Yesterday, Walla first reported on the dispute between Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, Central Command Commander Avi Bluth, and 98th Division Commander Brigadier General Mani Liberty, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz over the continuation of the operation. As part of the operation, hundreds of Palestinian families were evacuated from the neighborhood from which the terrorists set out for the deadly attack on Friday. IDF forces scanned hundreds of buildings but did not locate weapons, military equipment, ammunition, or explosive labs. Security officials explained that Operation "Roar of Judah" is the difference between strategic and routine security thinking. Additionally, a significant Hamas infrastructure in Hebron was uncovered, and an intention from abroad, including from Hamas Turkey, is being examined.
