The situation in Gaza forces us to choose: either we are the slaughterer or the slaughtered

Commentator Hillel Biton Rosen claims that the latest security assessment determines that Hamas is desperately seeking to carry out a major attack ahead of the third anniversary of the October 7 massacre, and that the Defense Minister's remarks about the abduction of a soldier prove that the system is aware of the threat but is not acting enough. He calls for immediate aggressive action.

Commentator Hillel Biton Rosen analyzes the current security assessment, according to which Hamas is desperately seeking to carry out a significant terrorist attack ahead of the third anniversary of the October 7 massacre. According to him, the organization understands that Israel has military superiority but erred in releasing all the hostages, and is now trying to change the equation through the abduction of a soldier and a raid on outposts. The Defense Minister, according to Rosen, sends an explicit threat that an abduction would lead to the complete evacuation of Gaza City, but the very public warning indicates that the system is aware of the threat without thwarting it. Rosen calls for immediate aggressive action, using the metaphor "If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first," and presents a dilemma between conquering the Strip from a position of strength and future coercion. He hints that electoral considerations may delay the decision. The tone is an impassioned call to action, using dichotomous and charged language.
