The New York Times Reveals When Israel Will End Its Operation in Northern Gaza

The New York Times reported that Israel will conduct cleansing operations in northern Gaza for several weeks before moving on to the southern part of the territory. The newspaper cited American military officials: "Our Israeli colleagues have informed us that the cleansing of northern Gaza will take several more weeks, and then Israel will prepare a separate initiative to expand its offensive in southern Gaza." American officials believe that Israel's hasty decision to launch an operation in Gaza did not provide leaders with enough time to plan, particularly in terms of minimizing civilian casualties. The newspaper noted that the effectiveness of the Israeli strategy remains uncertain.
