Military sources confirmed that, from the early hours of the military campaign against Iran, the pilots who returned to the base in Israel, offered to use the remaining ammunition against Hamas targets in the Palestinian enclave.
The commanders of the Land Forces within the Israeli army accepted the offer, identifying targets to be hit by airplanes, and the initiative was later implemented during the 12 -day war between Iran and Israel.
These attacks are an indication that Israel has been largely able to maintain the intensity of its air attacks in Gaza, despite the fact that the main Focus of the IDF had moved to Iran.
The army insisted that, despite the spontaneity of the proposal, all those attacks were planned in a proper way and made against legitimate targets.
The period in which the Lion's Lion operation took place – June 14-24 – during which the international attention focused on Iran – was an extremely bloody one for the civilians in Gaza, mainly due to the firearms drawn near the aid delivery points.
It is not clear how many were killed following air attacks, but in total, the number of killed civilians, including those who were waiting for humanitarian help, was on the order of hundreds.
General Tommer Bar, the commander of the Israeli Air Force (IAF), would have ordered that the remaining ammunition initiative are widely applied.
The Israeli Air Forces (IAF) have exceeded all expectations during the Iran campaign, quickly setting air supremacy, which allowed them to hunt targets on the nuclear program of the Israel Republic, according to Israel's appreciation.
Politicians and military officials even praised that they created a “highway” to Tehran.
As the campaign continued, Israeli war planes have been used more and more to destroy the Iranian ballistic missile launch sites, to reduce the dams that hit the civil areas of Israel.
Donald Trump has been eager to use the advance won following the apparent success of the American-Israeli common campaign against Iran to force a settlement of the Gaza war.
Hamas continued to insist that any agreement to issue the hostages to be accompanied by an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and an commitment to end the war.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, continued to promise the total eradication of the Hamas group and continued the intense bombing after new evacuation orders.
Pressure for a armistice in the Gaza strip
Although the details are unclear, it is possible that the White House has pressed Israel to provide a more solid commitment to discuss the conclusion of the war this time.
Israel in turn would have asked the US to put pressure on the Qatar to threaten Hamas officials if no progress is made for an agreement.
The kingdom has already ordered the group to hand over personal weapons.
Although considered an insult among Islamists, the movement was perceived as a promising symbolic sign that the Qatar, which was harshly criticized for its proximity to some terrorist groups, including Hamas, is willing to exert pressure.
Some officials in the Israeli government hope that Trump's initial threat announced in February to evacuate the entire population in Gaza and to restore it to a “Middle East Riviera” could force the Hamas leaders who otherwise not to accept an agreement.
During a press conference in Estonia, Gideon SA'ar, Israel's Foreign Minister, said, regarding negotiations: “There are some positive signs.”
