| [IsrelTimes] The IDF’s Nahal Brigade has been withdrawn from the West Bank after three months of operations, ahead of an upcoming major offensive in the Gaza Strip, the military says. “Now, the Nahal Brigade is preparing as part of the 162nd Division for additional missions in the Gaza Strip ahead of the expansion of the fighting in the Strip,” the army says. According to Israeli officials, the planned offensive, dubbed “Gideon’s Chariots,” will see the IDF “conquering” Gaza and retaining the territory; moving the Palestinian civilian population toward the south of the Strip; attacking Hamas; and preventing the terror group from taking control of humanitarian aid supplies.

The paratroopers have been operating in the Golan Heights and inside Syria since the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in December. The military says the brigade has concluded its operations and is now preparing with the 98th Division for “additional missions in the Gaza Strip ahead of the expansion of the fighting in the Strip.” A reservist brigade will be replacing the paratroopers in the Golan and southern Syria, the army adds. |
