Israel's Military Commander Sees a Year of War
(Wall Street Journal) Rory Jones - Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir, 59, the new Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, is leading Israel's renewed push into Gaza to free hostages and force Hamas to surrender. He is preparing to deploy tens of thousands of soldiers in a major ground offensive - backed by the Israeli government - to root out remaining Hamas militants. In a major shift in tactics, Zamir wants to deploy enough troops to occupy Gaza indefinitely and control the distribution of humanitarian aid.
