Israeli Army Prepares Plans for Possible Renewed Gaza Fighting

The Israeli army is preparing for the possibility of a return to large-scale fighting in Gaza, amid cease-fires in Iran and Lebanon and assessments that Hamas has used recent months to significantly rebuild its military and organizational capabilities, IDF officials said.

The army has approved plans for renewed fighting, citing intelligence that Hamas has rebuilt parts of its infrastructure, including some tunnels.

Israeli political sources stressed that the Netanyahu government has yet to approve another offensive. The preparations come as fighting has paused in Iran and Lebanon.
