Concerns Over Expanded Offensive

An Israeli campaign group representing families of captives in Gaza slammed the expanded offensive plan, calling it a dangerous gamble with their loved ones’ lives. Tamar Lazarow, 59, said the proposal recklessly endangers lives on both sides and questioned the government’s judgment.

At a Knesset committee meeting, Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is in captivity, urged soldiers to reject reserve duty on moral grounds. In contrast, Yossi Gershon, 36, an Israeli civil servant, backed the new war plan as a necessary move despite the lack of peace prospects.
