In depth

The defense establishment warns that Hamas is planning a move designed to exploit winter in the Strip. According to Behadrei Haredim, military sources warn that the organization intends to exploit infrastructure damage and the spread of disease to exert international pressure.

In Israel, there is concern that engineering equipment and construction inputs brought in to rebuild water and sewage infrastructure will be used to rebuild the military arm. According to Israel Hayom, intelligence information presented to decision-makers points to an attempt to restore the achievements of the starvation campaign. A security source said that even bringing in equipment in large quantities will not prevent all the effects of the weather.
