IDF representatives briefed cabinet ministers last night that the military holds 67-70% of the Gaza Strip, according to a report by i24NEWS. The figure, provided by military officials directly to the political leadership, is the first such estimate given to the cabinet at this level of detail. The Zioneer has previously reported similar estimates from Israeli officials. Prime Minister Netanyahu stated in June that Israel held 60% of the Strip, and Minister Eli Cohen said in July that the IDF held nearly 70%. The new figure falls within that range, though it is the first to be attributed to military representatives in a cabinet briefing.
