Israeli Military Spokesman: The Next Phase of the War May Contradict Expectations

A spokesman for the Israeli army stated today, Tuesday, that "the army is preparing for the next phase of its campaign in Gaza, but the plans may not align with widespread expectations of an imminent ground assault." The spokesman, Richard Hecht, said in a regular briefing with journalists: "We are preparing for the next stages of the war. We have not specified what it will entail. Everyone is talking about a ground assault. It may be something different."
