Report: Israel has new Gaza plan
JERUSALEM, (UPI) -- Israel's military has drawn up plans to evacuate entire villages and refugee camps in Gaza if a new conflict with Hamas erupts, the Jerusalem Post has learned.
The Post says in an exclusive report Wednesday that the evacuation plan partially draws on a previous Gaza operation, Cast Lead, in which Israeli Defense Forces dropped fliers over areas it planned to invade and made phone calls to residents warning them to leave.
The new plan reportedly draws some lessons from the Goldstone Report on Operation Cast Lead that criticized Israel for the way it operated in urban areas.
The report accused the Israeli military of committing war crimes.
Even though the army is drawing up plans, current military assessments indicate Hamas is not interested in instigating a new conflict with Israel.
