Army Radio journalist Doron Kadosh on Tuesday morning wrote about a disturbing phenomenon that is taking place in the northern Gaza Strip, where the IDF claimed it has gained operational control.
It should be noted that he wrote the report prior to the heavy barrage of rockets launched by Hamas at Netivot later on Tuesday morning, an incident that lent weight to his statements.
“The security system is detecting a concerning trend: Hamas is trying to restore its civilian capabilities in the north of the Gaza Strip,” Kadosh wrote. “After the ground war in the north of the Gaza Strip ended, the security establishment is seeing attempts by Hamas to restore its local police in the area and control local citizens.”
“For example, the humanitarian aid trucks that arrive in the north of the Gaza Strip – already all arrive in the hands of Hamas. Hamas is working to regain control of the region, under the auspices of the vacuum created there. The main concern in the security establishment is the possibility that Hamas will succeed in restoring its military capabilities in the region as well.”
“It is interesting to note the events of the last day in the north of the Gaza Strip:
– In Beit Lahia, IDF forces seized 60 rockets ready to be launched.
– In the Al-Shati refugee camp, IDF forces killed nine terrorists.
– Yesterday, a barrage of about 10 rockets was launched from Beit Hanoun toward Sderot.”
“The main questions asked here:
1. Didn’t the decision to switch to targeted divisional raids in the north of the Gaza Strip come too soon, and would it have been better to leave an entire Division for a massive maneuver inside the area and not to reduce its forces?
2. Why are we talking about ‘the day after’ when this day is already here in the north of the Gaza Strip?”
“And the most important of all – how is it possible that there was still not one serious discussion in the cabinet on the issue of control of Gaza the day after, and the IDF forces withdrew from the north of the Gaza Strip and left such a vacuum there?”
Following the rocket barrage at Netivot, Religious Zionism MK Ohad Tal, wrote: “Who would have believed that the immediate result of the reduction of IDF forces in the Gaza Strip would result in such a heavy barrage of rockets? The cabinet must convene immediately and someone there must wake up. If the government wants to receive the support of the Knesset members, we must see you as taking initiative, decisive, and victorious! Unfortunately, this isn’t what we’ve been seeing lately.”
Many additional government members and public figures questioned IDF tactics in Gaza in the wake of the barrage.

Please Hashem, destroy Hamas and all their supporters entirely!
Hamas is like bedbugs
The only way to get rid of them is by carpet bombing them
All their כחי ועצם ידי is completely in the dump!
No surprise. Terrorists are like cockroaches. They’re easily replaced. Israel could kill 10,000 and they’d soon be replaced by 20,000. They should focus on eliminating the leaders starting with Sinwar. Cut off the head and the body dies.
Level every structure and roadblock every major road. The civilian population should have left by now, so there should be no one but Hamas roaming the streets
That’s because there are no “civilians” in Gaza. The “poor” Fakestinians in Gaza are Hamas.
For example, the humanitarian aid trucks that arrive in the north of the Gaza Strip – already all arrive in the hands of Hamas.
Then why is Israel still allowing the trucks in? If they know this is happening then they should stop the trucks altogether. Keeping resources out of Hamas’s hands is more important than the residents’ lives. If stopping the trucks means the locals starve, let them starve.
Thanks Biden, Blinken, Tapper and company.
Israel announces over 9000 terrorists killed in Gaza since start of war.
What?, one hundred days of heavy non stop bombing and thousands of rocket and tank missiles with almost 200 dead and 1500 wounded, and what does Israel have to show for it? a measly 9000 terrorist sewer rats dead
What a waste of human life and resources, what a sick joke this non-war has become.
Any other normal country in Israels shoes, would have obliterated Gaza in the first seven days.Israel should have carpet bombed that hell hole without leaving one house standing and turning it into a parking lot,and only then send in your troops to clean out the dead rats, instead of sending them to fight house to house.
Remember how Berlin, Dresden and Hiroshima looked after the last world war, that’s exactly how Gaza should have looked after the first week.
Instead of 9000 dead sewer rats, there should have been 900,000 dead rats.
There are NO innocent civilians in Gaza, and the whole world knows it, these filthy rats voted for Hamas support Hamas, exactly like there were no innocent Germans or Japanese and millions were killed, that is the only way you execute and win wars.
God have mercy on the land and people of Israel who are being led by leftist cowardly murderers whose life of the enemy is more important than the lives of their own young soldiers, and who are willing to sacrifice their own young men and women on the altar of leftism to satisfy the antisemitic swines of the EU the UN and that demented sewer rat in the White house.
