The head of Israeli national intelligence would have recommended the end of the offensive in Gaza, according to media

MADRID, 7 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The head of Israel's Intelligence and General Security Services (Shin Bet), Ronen Bar, has raised with the Israeli Government's security cabinet the possibility of terminating the military operation in Gaza against the Islamic Jihad terrorist group, according to Ministerial sources reported this Sunday to the Israeli outlet Walla News.

Bar would have told the cabinet that Islamic Jihad had already received a heavy blow in this operation, and the time had come to end the campaign and "avoid possible mistakes that could lead to a broader conflict that Israel does not want."

In fact, the head of the Shin Bet indicated that the 'Dawn' operation had achieved more advantages than expected, especially the "strategic objective" of opening a wedge between Islamic Jihad and Hamas, the Islamist movement that controls the Gaza Strip and which has remained relatively silent during the confrontation between Israel and the terrorist organization's militias.

The reaction of Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz to Bar's proposal is unknown at this time. Both Lapid and Gantz stated this morning that their intention right now is to fight Islamic Jihad." as long as it takes."

Also in the last few hours, Lapid has met with the former prime minister and now leader of the opposition, Benjamin Netanyahu, to inform him of the evolution of the operation.

Following the meeting, Netanyahu declared his "full support" for the government and security forces and urged residents of southern Israel threatened by Islamic Jihad rockets to follow the directives of the National Front Command.

The conflict has so far claimed the lives of 29 Palestinians, including four senior Islamic Jihad officials and several children. More than 250 have been injured. Israel has confirmed at least three wounded in its territory, including two soldiers, and dozens of people treated for bruises amid the chaos of the evacuations.
