Bad weather is making it difficult for pilots and drone operators to provide support to ground forces, the sources said.
The Israeli army has postponed by several days a ground operation in the Gaza Strip, which was scheduled to begin this weekend. This was reported by The New York Times, citing sources in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The operation was said to have been delayed for several days due to cloud cover, which “will make it difficult for Israeli pilots and drone operators to provide air cover for ground forces.”
At the same time, preparations for an assault on the Gaza Strip are in full swing and could be Israel’s largest ground operation since the 2006 Lebanon war.
The IDF strike forces will consist not only of infantry, but also of tanks, sappers, and special forces. Ground forces are covered by helicopters, drones and artillery from land and sea.
The military says its goal is to defeat Hamas and eliminate its leaders responsible for the October 7 attack on Israel.
We remind you that, according to the latest data, as a result of the conflict in Israel, more than 1,300 people died and more than 3,400 were injured. In the Gaza Strip, these numbers are 2,329 and 9,714, respectively.
Today there is a massive evacuation of the population from the Gaza Strip, which Hamas militants are trying to block.
