❗️Israeli army claims it has tightened Gaza attack rules, requiring chief of staff approval for assassinations
▪️According to Israeli Army Radio (GLZ), the Israeli military has significantly tightened its rules of engagement in Gaza, with all assassinations now requiring the personal approval of Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.
▪️Security sources told army radio that until the beginning of this week, approval from a regional commander or division commander was sufficient to authorize a targeted strike. The new policy centralizes approval at the highest military level, imposing alleged significant new restrictions.
▪️The change is expected to substantially reduce the number of Israeli strikes in Gaza. Citing Palestinian reports, it claimed that aside from a single strike at around 10:00 pm yesterday, Israeli occupation forces have refrained from carrying out attacks in the Strip over the past 48 hours.
