Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
Senior ground forces officers were taken on flights by the Israeli Air Force in recent days over Gaza Strip territory in order to view from above the direction of the military’s expected maneuvers, The Times of Israel has learned.
The brigade and battalion commanders were shown from combat helicopters where the ground troops are expected to enter from during the looming ground offensive into the Gaza Strip.
The IDF said yesterday it was finalizing its preparations for a “coordinated attack from the air, sea and land.”
