Tel Aviv: After 13 Palestinians, including women and children, were martyred in the recent Israeli attack on Gaza, Israel has now started preparing for a long-term offensive in Gaza.
According to the Israeli newspaper Times of Israel, Israeli army chief of staff Herzi Halevi held a meeting with top military and intelligence leaders for a security review after the killing of 13 Palestinians and wounding of 20 others in Gaza. Discussed the possible response of the Palestinian resistance groups.
The Israeli occupation army said in its statement that the meeting focused on the possible progress against the Palestinian resistance and the preparations of the Israeli Defense Forces on all fronts and its action plan.
Meanwhile, due to the expectation that the fighting in the besieged Gaza will continue for several days, the Israeli government has ordered the evacuation of illegal Israeli settlements in the vicinity.
The Israeli newspaper also reported that bomb-proof shelters have been opened for civilians in the center and south of Israel, while hospital administrations have begun moving patients to safer locations.
