📰 The Washington Post revealed that in the early days of the war, Netanyahu seriously considered a pre-emptive attack on Hezbullah but then backtracked.

It added that Israel expects the war to last at least 3 months, and they are still unaware what to do with Gaza after it. They won't accept Hamas nor will they enable the Palestinian authority there.

Additionally, they revealed that the economy in Israel is being battered by the number of reserves recruited in the army, and they have to release many to allow the economy to function again. However, no decision has been taken yet.

📃 After failing to prove anything of worth in Al-Shifa medical complex, and after failing to find any serious weapon cache or intel in Gaza city outskirts, Israel now claims get Hamas' leadership escaped to the south.

The army informed military correspondents that Sinwar and Al-Daif are in the south, not Gaza city (North).

📢 🇮🇱 🇵🇸 Israel's Haaretz reports that an Israeli official investigation has determined that an IDF helicopter killed Israeli civilians at the Nova rave on 7 October.
