IDF Planning Large-Scale Gaza Operation
[Jerusalem Post] Yaakov Katz and Herb Keinon - The IDF will present the government with a plan in the coming days for a large-scale operation in Gaza, following Wednesday's security cabinet meeting in which such plans were requested. The IDF's new two-stage plan, drafted by the Southern Command, includes taking control of rocket launch sites in northern Gaza and launching raids into nearby villages to destroy rocket-production infrastructure. The IDF is also considering sending troops into the Philadelphi Corridor near Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, where more than 100 weapons-smuggling tunnels are located.
