According to the Israeli Times local time on the 28th, weeks before the Israeli Defense Army launched a new round of military offensive on the Gaza Strip, Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamil delivered an ¡°secret memorandum¡± to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz, warning that the military operation had no ¡°political objectives¡± and could jeopardize the safety of detainees and soldiers.

Israeli TV Channel 13 that on the eve of Netanyahu¡¯s upcoming trip to the United States with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss a ceasefire in Gaza, Zamil submitted the memorandum, in which he wrote that ¡°Israeli soldiers return to the same area without political objectives,¡± ¡°these operations endanger the safety of hostages, and their situation is worsening,¡± and that ¡°every operation requires pre-set political targets.¡±

According to the report, an Israeli army spokesman confirmed the existence of the document, calling it "an extremely sensitive and confidential memo" and submitted it directly to Netanyahu and Katz. The spokesperson declined to comment on the contents of the document, warning only that leaking its contents to unauthorized parties would pose a threat to national security.

The report mentioned that some parents of Israeli soldiers involved in operations in Gaza were "angry and shocked" by the above news. "According to the chief of staff himself, he let our children die and get hurt in vain and meaningless. Our children's lives are not insignificant." They said. "It's time for parents to step up and stop this meaningless war."

The Times of Israel stated that this incident is not the first time Zamir has disagreed with the political leadership over plans to take over Gaza City. This situation highlights the deepening rift between the Israeli military and the national leadership.

Earlier, the Israeli security cabinet approved the plan to take over Gaza City by the Israeli army in early August, which triggered condemnation and opposition at home and abroad. Israeli media reported on September 1 that a fierce quarrel broke out at the security cabinet meeting held the night before. Netanyahu refused to accept the phased ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, while Zamir warned that the takeover of Gaza City would eventually evolve into a total occupation of the Gaza Strip. Zamir warned at the meeting that the plan to take over Gaza City lacked a "coherent exit strategy" and would instead plunge Israel deeply into the Gaza Strip and eventually have to establish a "military government" in the Gaza Strip.

The Israel Defense Forces announced on the 27th of this month that the Israeli army has focused on expanding its military operations in northern Gaza City in the past day. Israeli Defense Minister Katz issued a statement on the same day saying that Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip are entering a "decisive stage" and will not stop until all goals are achieved. The health department in the Gaza Strip stated on the same day that the Israeli army's actions that day had resulted in the deaths of at least 91 people in the Gaza Strip, including 48 in Gaza City.
