Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime, and Eyal Zamir, the Chief of Staff of the regime's army, have encountered an unprecedented confrontation over the continuation of military operations in the city of Hebron. While Netanyahu and Israel Katz, the Minister of Defense, are calling for an escalation of these operations, Zamir believes that continuing operations in this city is no longer justified and should be halted.
Military and Political Tensions
In recent days, the disagreements between the army command and political officials regarding the continuation of operations in Hebron have reached a critical point. Zamir has emphasized that the army sees no reason to continue these operations in the densely populated Arab neighborhoods of Hebron, and the continued presence of forces could lead to further clashes and endanger the lives of soldiers.

On the other hand, Netanyahu and Katz insist that operations must continue until Hamas's infrastructure is completely eradicated. They have emphasized that these operations should be intensified and implemented based on an aggressive pattern similar to what has been done in the refugee camps in northern West Bank.
Concerns About Iran
These tensions have not only led to serious repercussions in the military arena but also in the political sphere. News sources have reported Eyal Zamir's concerns about Netanyahu's and the political leadership's misassessment of the situation in Iran. Zamir is worried that this incorrect assessment may escalate the situation ahead of the upcoming elections.
In this context, during a meeting held on Sunday at the Palmachim Air Base, the tense relations between Netanyahu and Zamir were clearly evident. Sources present at the meeting described the atmosphere as highly tense and stated that there is concern within the military establishment that the political level is trying to exploit the issue of Iran for its political interests.
In recent days, Zamir has called for a comprehensive discussion about military operations and emphasized the need to obtain legal documents from political officials. These requests reflect his deep concerns about the repercussions of these decisions in the current sensitive circumstances.
While the Israeli regime's army continues its operations in Hebron with the evacuation of Palestinian homes and extensive inspections, it remains to be seen whether these disagreements could lead to new operational decisions regarding Iran.
