A senior commander in the Israeli occupation army has said that a new war on the Gaza Strip was “inevitable”.
Hebrew daily Maariv on Tuesday quoted the unnamed commander as saying that the new war would include a land invasion similar to operation “Cast Lead” four years ago.
He said that the main goal of the operation would be restoring Israel’s power of deterrence.
Well informed sources in the Israeli occupation army on Monday evening said that an Israeli land invasion of the coastal enclave would be in retaliation to the Palestinian rocket attacks.
Benny Gantz announced on assuming his new post as chief of the Israeli army staff that a war on Gaza during his period in office was “inevitable”.
