Special translation - A senior Israeli security source said today, Tuesday, that in light of the current situation and the continued firing of rockets, in addition to the political crisis internally and externally, a large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip is inevitable.
And the website, Wala Al-Ibri, quoted the official as saying that the political leadership in Israel must decide soon whether the worsening security situation will lead to a military response against Hamas, or provide economic benefits to try to contain the current situation.
"In the end, there will be no choice but to engage in a military campaign to strengthen deterrence," he said.
He pointed out that, despite the achievements made in the "Black Belt" operation recently in Gaza, the rocket fire continues despite the opposition of the Hamas leadership to this, but it does not do enough to stop it despite attacking its targets in response to that, he said.

And he is pressing Hamas to release the Israelis from it by linking this issue and other issues related to the bodies of the martyrs and responding strongly to the rocket fire.
Security officials said to the site, that the security system leaders have lagged behind in taking a decision on Gaza because of the lack of clarity in the decision of the current political level in light of the electoral process, but now is the moment when the political and military level will take their decision after presenting their positions, noting that the cabin has not met since the appointment Naftali Bennett to discuss the Gaza issue or other issues.
