CCTV reported that Israeli Defense Minister Gallant issued a statement on December 4, local time, expecting military operations in Israel "to last at least two months at the current intensity."
Israel has expanded its ground offensive in the Gaza Strip and launched combat operations in the southern Gaza Strip, and the intensity and results of its strikes against Hamas are not "inferior" to those in northern Gaza. There is no longer any safe place in the Gaza Strip, and the Israeli ground offensive has expanded to all parts of Gaza. Israel's massive bombardment of Gaza will put increasing pressure on Israel, and the reason why Israel is attacking so violently is that it wants to deal a fatal blow to Hamas before another ceasefire is repeated.
Hamas withdrew to Khan Younis during the ceasefire and strengthened its defenses against Khan Younis and prepared blocking positions, mines and booby traps. In all likelihood, Khan Younis will be Hamas's last position. Israel has dropped leaflets for civilians to evacuate, but there is no safe place in Gaza, and many Gaza civilians in Khan Younis are reluctant to evacuate. Massive Israeli air and ground attacks will result in more civilians**. Khan Younis will also become a purgatory on earth.
Netanyahu is confronted with Israeli politicians and the public who want to destroy Hamas, and the families want the hostages to return home safely. Israeli allies, hoping to reduce Palestinian civilians** and end the war as soon as possible. If the United States pushes Israel to accelerate the end of the war, Israel will face greater pressure and greater challenges.
Expert**, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict may repeatedly alternate between belligerence and ceasefire, and each time there will be an exchange of hostages, forming a wartime law.
