[Mostafa Alkharouf - Anadolu Agency]](https://i0.wp.com/www.middleeastmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/AA-20251014-39412414-39412400-GAZAISRAEL_BORDER_REGION_FOLLOWING_THE_CEASEFIRE.jpg?fit=920%2C613&ssl=1)
The Israeli military is preparing for the potential resumption of large-scale combat in the Gaza Strip, amid ceasefires on the Iranian and Lebanese fronts and assessments indicating that Hamas has exploited the situation to rebuild its military capabilities.
Israeli military sources told Haaretz that the so-called commander of the Southern Command claimed no international body has been able to disarm Hamas. Israel will not limit its operations to the yellow-line areas of Gaza.
The army believes that if fighting resumes, it will need to enter areas it has previously avoided.
