According to the Jerusalem Post, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) now require Chief Amir Zamir’s approval for every strike launched in Gaza, a shift that follows several attacks over the weekend and in preceding weeks that targeted individuals identified as terrorists. The policy change signals a tightening of military rules as Israel seeks to control the scope and impact of its operations.
Army Radio reports confirm that the IDF has conducted multiple strikes that resulted in the deaths of several Gaza-based militants belonging to various terror groups. While exact casualty figures are not disclosed, the confirmations underscore the increasing frequency of targeted actions. The new approval protocol, as announced by the Jerusalem Post, aims to increase oversight and accountability within the IDF’s operational planning.
The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hamas, with both sides exchanging fire for years. Heightened scrutiny of military strikes comes amid criticism over civilian casualties and broader humanitarian concerns.
