הרמטכ"ל בעזה: "צה״ל לא יחזור ל-6 באוקטובר"

הערכה

The Chief of Staff's visit to Gaza and his statement that the IDF will not return to the conditions of October 6 is a direct signal about operational doctrine. He is drawing a clear line: the pre-October 7 paradigm of containment is dead. The declared commitment to prevent Hamas and Hezbollah from rebuilding and to pursue the attackers until they are eliminated sets a long-term military objective. The key question is how this translates into daily policy and whether the political echelon backs this open-ended campaign.
