Israel's Defence Minister, Israel Katz, announced that the Israeli military will maintain a significant presence in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria indefinitely. This decision represents a shift from previous policies as Israel has fortified control over several contested areas, designating 30% of Gaza as a security buffer zone. The military's increased operations, which include targeted strikes on terror entities, follow heightened tensions after a truce with Hamas. Prime Minister Netanyahu has committed to dismantling Hamas while negotiating the release of captives held by the group, who have resisted discussions without a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz stated that troops will remain in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria indefinitely as military strategy intensifies in occupied territories.
The military has established a security buffer zone in Gaza, having targeted approximately 1,200 terror sites since resuming its offensive on March 18.
PM Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to eliminate Hamas and prioritize the release of captives while managing Israel's security posture.
Hamas insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal and a ceasefire before any agreement on releasing captives, complicating the situation further.
