Strikes in Gaza Require IDF Chief's Approval, Iran, Oman Inch Closer to Hormuz Deal
The move follows pressure from the Peace Council and foreign governments as forces retain authority to stop immediate threats.
- On Monday, Gen Eyal Zamir ordered new restrictions on Israeli military strikes in the Gaza Strip, requiring advance approval for targeted killings while allowing troops to respond immediately to direct threats, the IDF said.
- Southern Command officials said the directive followed a Peace Council statement calling to halt targeted killings in Gaza, alongside criticism from Egypt and Qatar over an Israeli strike earlier this week.
- Kan News reported the military went 30 hours without conducting airstrikes or targeted operations in the Strip. Over the weekend, the IDF conducted 22 strikes across Gaza, with reports from the Strip indicating 28 people were killed.
- Senior IDF officials are preparing to present three conditions regarding the Peace Council's 15-point proposal during a meeting with Zamir on Tuesday. Demands will be presented to Israel's political leadership for decision.
- Military officials are expected to oppose any partial withdrawal before Hamas is fully disarmed, instead seeking operational freedom to eliminate emerging threats, including terrorists viewed as a "ticking time bomb.
