The Israel Defense Forces’ Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, revealed Israel’s next phase of its war against Hamas on Sunday.

Zamir spoke to IDF soldiers during a field tour in Gaza on Sunday, saying they plan to move forward with the momentum of “Operation Gideon’s Chariots.”

“Today we are approving the plan for the next phase of the war. Just as in the recent operations in Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, Judea and Samaria, and Gaza, we will continue to reshape the security reality,” Zamir told battalion leaders and others present on Sunday.

“We will maintain the momentum of Operation ‘Gideon’s Chariots’ while focusing on Gaza City. We will continue to strike until the decisive defeat of Hamas, with the hostages always at the forefront of our minds,” he continued.

Zamir’s field tour comes barely a week after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced plans for Israel to completely take over the Gaza strip for an indefinite period following the war.

The plan, approved by Israel’s Security Cabinet, gives the green light to Defense Minister Israel Katz to call up over 400,000 military reservists to carry out the operation until November 30.
