Ex-intel chief urges expanded ground offensive

Amos Yadlin, a former IDF Military Intelligence chief, says Israel must stop treading water and dramatically expand its ground offensive in Gaza.

Actions that take the IDF “deeper into Gaza” are necessary, he tells Channel 2, to the areas where much of the Hamas military wing is concentrated. Gaza City itself has not been a focus, he notes.

“I’m not one of those who think we should reconquer Gaza,” Yadlin says. But the Hamas military wing is “pretty satisfied now” and must not be allowed to emerge from this conflict relatively intact.
