Sharp disagreement between the political leadership and the IDF over the Hebron operation The continuation of the IDF's military operation in the city of Hebron, carried out by "Division 98" forces, caused a sharp disagreement between the political leadership led by the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, on the one hand, and the leadership of the "Rametch", led by the IDF, on the other hand. of the Knesset elections. According to the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, the Chief of Staff of the IDF demanded to stop the operation due to the decrease in the results on the ground and his legal challenges represented by the deportation of the Palestinian population, but "Netanyahu" and "Katz" rejected the position and ordered the continuation of the military activity. Israel's political leadership justifies its insistence on prolonging the operations with the desire to impose deterrence inside the city and to complete the search for weapons and ammunition, considering that entering a city like Hebron leaves a cognitive and deterrent effect that is different from storming refugee camps like Jenin, Tulkarm and Naor. On the other hand, the IDF leadership believes that the operation gained its scope on the ground after the arrest of a limited number of people and the seizure of insignificant amounts of weapons, while warning of the legal and security consequences of removing families from their homes without achieving tangible operational results. This contradiction brings to mind previous scenarios observed in the Qalandiya camp last August, when a similar tension erupted between the political echelon and the military leadership over the possibility of expanding the operations without the presence of decisive intelligence information. In light of the growing concerns of Israel's security establishment and the Central Command about the outbreak of simulated individual attacks at the behest of social media networks, the IDF emphasizes the need to adopt targeted and precise actions to reduce tension on the ground, which indicates that the continuation of the Hebron operation in its current form raises difficult questions regarding the feasibility on the ground and the actual political balance.
