If Hamas continues to refuse to release hostages, Israel will be forced to expand its military operation in the Gaza Strip, according to Jonathan Conricus, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former IDF spokesperson.
He told ILTV News that this escalation will include “enhanced aerial attacks on Hamas infrastructure and targets, personnel and locations, and special forces and ground forces that will maneuver inside the Gaza Strip, searching for hostages and trying to launch hostage release operations and, of course, targeting Hamas, their senior leadership, their infrastructure, and really their centers of gravity.”
Any new IDF operation, he said, will be a “very different type of Israeli military action, not like what we've become accustomed to seeing” throughout the war. He described it as “stronger, more decisive, more violent, more kinetic, and Israel will use many more tools at its disposal.”
