Channel 14 reports that the Israeli security establishment will prioritize, in the coming period, the targeted killing of terrorists involved in the October 7 massacre and the consolidation of Israeli control over 70% of the Gaza Strip, according to reporter Hillel Bitton Rosen in an exclusive report.
According to Channel 14 journalist Hillel Bitton Rosen, writing in an exclusive Tuesday evening report, the coming period will see the Israeli defense establishment pivot to a dual-track offensive and consolidation effort: the systematic elimination of terrorists who committed the October 7, 2023 massacre, alongside a push to solidify Israel's operational control over 70% of the Gaza Strip.
No additional details — such as operational timelines, specific command directives, or whether the 70% figure marks an update from the 60% previously cited by Prime Minister Netanyahu on June 7 — were provided in the brief initial report. The source originates from a single report on the unofficial Channel 14 account.
The Zioneer previously reported on June 7 that Netanyahu stated Israel held 60% of the Strip and expected to reach 70% soon. This report suggests that operational goal has now been adopted as a formal focus. Other past bureau coverage (June 17) also noted claims of a high-value terrorist involved in the massacre having been eliminated in Gaza, indicating an ongoing effort. The current report does not specify which agency will take the operational lead.
