"Israel Pounds Southern Gaza As Officials Say 'Long War' Expected For A Year Or More"

From https://www.zerohedge.com | article by TYLER DURDEN | DEC 01, 2023. Original story courtesy the Financial Times.

"Update (1405ET): All hell has broken loose on the first day of renewed fighting in Gaza post-truce."

"Perhaps the biggest and most ominous development in terms of what the future holds is seen in Israeli officials' words to Financial Times. The Netanyahu is planning for a 'long war' which could reach over the next year or more."

"Israel is planning a campaign against Hamas that will stretch for a year or more, with the most intensive phase of the ground offensive continuing into early 2024, according to several people familiar with the preparations. The multi-phase strategy envisages Israeli forces, who are garrisoned inside north Gaza, making an imminent push deep into the south of the besieged Palestinian enclave."

"The goals include killing the three top Hamas leaders — Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Marwan Issa — while securing 'a decisive' military victory against the group’s 24 battalions and underground tunnel network and destroying its 'governing capability in Gaza'”.

Not even halfway! A year or more. YES, it does sound ominous!
