New escalation.. The Israeli occupation threatens assassinations and a ground maneuver in Gaza.

The security developments in the Gaza Strip continue to dominate discussions within the occupying state, amid accusations directed by the occupation towards Hamas of delaying the return of the bodies of the deceased prisoners, while American officials continue to pressure for the deployment of international forces within the sector.

In contrast, the occupation firmly rejects any participation of forces from Turkey or Qatar, considering that a "red line," while seeking to resume military maneuvers and carry out targeted assassinations within Gaza.

The Israeli website "Walla" predicted a delay in the first phase of the plan to replace Hamas with a multinational force until an understanding is reached between the occupation and the United States, noting that senior American officials in Tel Aviv, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Keen, are trying to influence the Israeli decision-making process regarding the Gaza file.

According to a report by "Walla," sources in the Israeli military establishment clarified that despite the establishment of the "mechanism" in the settlement of Kiryat Gat, senior officials in the American administration realize that without the participation of the occupation army and its precise knowledge of the terrain of the sector, it will not be possible to implement their plan to control it.

The plan includes the transfer of multinational forces to take over governance and impose order under the supervision of a technocratic government alternative to Hamas, with the first phase involving the disarmament of the sector, followed later by the commencement of the reconstruction process.

The report indicated that the Israeli policy towards Gaza, according to the current government's orientations, is based on the continued presence of occupation forces in the area under its control between the "yellow line" and the borders of the sector, with the demarcation of the border line using signs and concrete blocks, and the cleansing of the area from militants and infrastructure above and below ground.

It added that the political and military leadership in Israel has discussed in recent days new steps against Hamas, accusing the movement of deliberately delaying the delivery of the bodies of the hostages.

The report also indicated that the options available to Israel include three main paths: reducing humanitarian aid, controlling additional Palestinian areas that represent more than 54 percent of the area of the sector, and returning to a policy of assassinations targeting resistance leaders, despite American reservations about any measures affecting humanitarian aid.

The report concluded by noting that prevailing estimates in Israeli circles suggest that the political leadership is nearing the issuance of new orders to the army to resume the policy of targeted assassinations, followed by the implementation of a new ground maneuver to control more areas within the Gaza Strip.
