Ministerial papers and insider testimony reveal Tehran’s new tactic of flooding Britain with low-cost, deniable plots – betting the UK will not fund the resources needed to stop them.
Netanyahu claims these parts of Gaza – home to well over half a million Palestinians – are the last remaining Hamas strongholds.
His government has now granted Defence Minister Israel Katz permission to call up some 430,000 military reservists until November 30.
Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara said on Sunday that the country has no alternative but to continue mobilising reservists, i24 reported.
Netanyahu was defiant on Sunday, telling journalists: “This is the best way to end the war, and the best way to end it speedily.”
“Our goal is not to occupy Gaza, our goal is to free Gaza.”
The goals, he said, include demilitarising the territory, the Israeli military having overriding security control and a non-Israeli civilian administration in charge.
To support the humanitarian effort, Israel plans to increase aid deliveries significantly.
Daily aid truck convoys are expected to increase from 300 to 1,200,
The population will be ordered to move to the south of the strip before new offensive operations begin.
It is widely understood that the plan will apply to every piece of the enclave not yet under Israeli control.
Israeli security officials estimate the occupation could continue for at least half a year.
Netanyahu said the new operation would be implemented on “a fairly short timetable”.
He said the operation will aim “to dismantle the two remaining Hamas strongholds in Gaza City and the central camps”, while establishing secure corridors and safe zones to allow civilians to leave the area.
“Israel has no choice but to finish the job and complete the defeat of Hamas. Now, we’ve done a great deal. We have about 70 to 75 per cent of Gaza under Israeli control, military control,” he said.
“But we have two remaining strongholds, OK? These are Gaza City and the central camps in Al Mawasi.”
After Hamas is wiped out and Gaza becomes demilitarised, the PM says Israel will maintain “security responsibility”.
What is Israel’s five-step plan for Gaza?
Disarmament of Hamas
Return of all hostages – living and dead
Demilitarisation of the Gaza Strip
Israeli security control over Gaza
Creation of a new civil administration that excludes both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority
A “non-Israeli civilian administration” will be established in Gaza within 24 hours, he added.
Israel’s cabinet also signed off on five guiding principles to conclude the war this week with a roadmap that leaves no room for compromise with Hamas.
Israel has made it clear that the terrorist group must be stripped of its weapons entirely – not just weakened, but dismantled – to prevent any future attacks on Israeli civilians.
The 22-month war has left tens of thousands dead after Hamas attacked Israeli civilians on October 7.
They took 251 hostages during the assault, with 49 still being held in Gaza – including 27 who the IDF say are dead.
The return of all hostages, both living and dead, is also a non-negotiable pillar of the plan.
Israeli leaders have stressed that no resolution will be accepted unless it includes the safe return of every captive held in Gaza.

Israel’s offensive has killed at least 61,430 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s health ministry, figures the United Nations says are reliable.
According to Gaza’s civil defence agency, at least 27 people were killed by Israeli fire across the territory Sunday, including 11 who were waiting near aid distribution centres.
They were all stationed inside a media tent near Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital, which was targeted.
Correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh, cameramen Ibrahim Zaher and Moamen Aliwa, and their assistant Mohammed Noufal have all been named by the publication.
The IDF confirmed it struck al-Sharif, 28, who has been one of Al Jazeera’s top reporters out in northern Gaza throughout the war.
Israel accused al-Sharif of “serving as the head of a terrorist cell in Hamas” for some time during the war.
They said he has been posing as a journalist and claimed he is “responsible for advancing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops”.

He dramatically revealed his identity in a TikTok interview and before long Alisha, 23, had come forward as his girlfriend.
The debt collector from Durham posted a pic of the pair cuddling up, captioned: “POV ya boyfriend’s now known as the Ibiza final boss.”
But now, it’s been revealed she had already dumped him by that point after being furious at him for jetting off to party with his boys.
The pair are said to have now reconciled – but Jack is still “skating on thin ice”, according to sources speaking to the Mail.
A friend of Jack’s told the paper: “Alisha called it off when Jack went to Ibiza with the lads.
“They’d been together for almost a year and he was living at her place but things hadn’t been right for months.”
Alisha initially only posted the photo of them cosying up to boost her own TikTok, according to the source, but she now claims they are back together.
Alisha had apparently felt something was wrong for a while, and Jack ditching her for the clubs was the final straw.
The friend said: “It’s hard to believe that he’s been branded the super king of Ibiza – the final boss – when she’s been left on her own back here.”
When approached, however, Alisha insisted: “All I want to say is, I love him, we’re back together.”
Jack popped back to the UK for one night to get a fresh trim from his trusty Gateshead barber, before heading back out to Ibiza for a tour of the clubs.
Ali Kurbani, of B&D Barbers in Blaydon, revealed exclusively to The Sun the secrets behind the cut.
After the trim, Jack was flown out in a lux £5million private jet with four of his mates – but Alisha was nowhere to be seen and is assumed to still be back at home.
The famous bob seemed to have multiplied, with the whole squad rocking very similar cuts – although Jack’s trim still reigns supreme.

Jack is enjoying a jam-packed schedule back on the party island after signing up with top celeb talent agency Neon Management.
He joins the ranks of Joey Essex and Love Island‘s Harriet and Ronnie on their books.
A source told The Sun: “Signing up with the agency was a no-brainer given their past success and they’ve been inundated with requests for him already.
“It all really blew up in a matter of hours so from TV shows to podcasts – the sky‘s the limit.”
Jack first shot to fame this week when a video of him grooving on the party island gained millions of views.
With a shiny helmet of hair, a chunky gold chain, huge rave shades and bright white teeth – his look immediately caught attention.
His lid has been compared to a range of pop-culture icons from Ringo Starr to Friar Tuck and a Lego man.
A flood of memes followed – and the “Ibiza Final Boss” born.
After becoming one of the most famous faces in Ibiza, Jack dramatically revealed his true identity in a video for The Ibiza Times.
Sporting a thick Georgie accent, he declared: “I am the Ibiza final boss. Jack Kay. Get to know.”

ALI Kurbani, master-barber at B&D Barbers in Blaydon, Newcastle, welcomed Jack into the chair before he jetted back for a tour round Ibiza.
He told the Sun that he was baffled to see his handiwork hitting the headlines.
Ali said: “I have been doing this job a while now and this is amazing.
“We have cut Jack’s hair for around ten years and we didn’t expect this.”
Ali, from Kurdistan, said that Jack has kept the same cut for a while.
After wild speculation online about the style Jack requests – from Robin Hood to a bowl-cut or “short back and Battle of Hastings” – Ali gave us the truth.
He said: “To get this style, Jack asks for a medium skin fade and then a bit of length of the top.
But the key to creating the crisp Lego-like shape is to “keep the fringe sharp at the front,” he said.
B&D Barbers charges £26 for the Ibiza Boss special – but being a “very nice guy” Jack sometimes pays over the odds.
Ali’s cut said: “It made me very happy when I saw the video had gone viral but it was a shock.
“I am very happy about it all and Jack is a very nice guy.
“It is great to see this happen for our business. I think he is going to keep the style.”
Israel’s military targeted an Al Jazeera correspondent with an airstrike Sunday, killing him, another network journalist and other people, all of whom were sheltering outside the Gaza City Hospital complex.
