THE GENERALS' PLAN
The Israeli generals' plan refers to a siege strategy proposed by former Israeli general Giora Eiland during the Israel–Hamas war. The plan, also known as the Eiland Plan, was published in a military forum critical of the army's efforts against Palestine. It contains the following goals:
-
Changing the doctrine of war
-
Moving from the concept of deterrence to the concept of decisiveness
-
The introduction of more offensive officers to the General Staff, which runs the army
-
A clear victory against the enemy in all sectors.
MERES found the plan in September 2024.
We are monitoring Northern Gaza where the plan has been rolled out since October 6, 2024. Collected video and photos are showing that the second goal turns out to be the use of brute force, starvation and banning all aid to cause a slow death until Hamas surrenders. The implementation of the plan shows clear hallmarks of crimes of extermination.
