Israel At War Sunday August 17

Israel at war day 681

- Thousands of  Israelis strike and protest in call for hostage deal, end of war blocking roads across the country 

- IDF Navy attacked in Yemen today. Two explosions were heard near a power station in the capital, Sana'a

- The scope of the IDF forces that will operate in the Gaza Strip as part of the new operation is at least four divisions. All three main regular divisions 98, 36, and 162—will be mobilized, and alongside them, several reserve brigades will be mobilized, meaning tens of thousands of reserve soldiers will be mobilized for the operation.

- Hamas negotiators in Cairo this week signaled a willingness to come down from demands they made last month that led to the collapse of hostage talks in Doha. Arab mediators passed along the development to Israel, but Jerusalem responded that it is not interested in another partial ceasefire and is only willing to forgo plans to take over Gaza City if Hamas agrees to all of its demands for ending the war, the Israeli official said.

- IDF Chief of Staff Zamir will hold a broad discussion today at the Southern Command to approve plans for the conquest of Gaza City. IDF's goal: By October 7, not only will the population of Gaza City be evacuated, but the city's encirclement will also be completed, and operational control over it will be achieved. The implication is that the maneuver into Gaza City will begin in the coming weeks to advance the timeline
