With the Rafah operation expected to wind down in the coming weeks — and the war to move to new, less intensive phase — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu begins a situational assessment with top aides and military commanders in Southern Command headquarters.
They also discuss “continuing military pressure” on Hamas, according to Netanyahu’s office.
Netanyahu is joined in Beersheba by National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
Senior officers in attendance include IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman, Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar, the heads of the 162nd, 99th, and 98th divisions — all currently fighting in Gaza — and the commander of the Gaza Division.
The heads of the General Staff Operations and Intelligence directorates, the Ground Forces, and the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories also participate.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
