Section C of the document titled "Update on the Goals of the War" states: "Arrest operations, targeted suppression, maintaining the security of traffic on the routes, and imposing restrictions on them when required for security reasons should continue, at least with the same intensity as the IDF carried out these tasks immediately following October 7, 2023."
The ambiguously named Operation "Iron Walls" – a fusion of "Guardian of the Walls" and "Swords of Iron" – launched by the IDF on January 21, 2025, "to eradicate terrorism in northern Samaria," serves as another indication of the IDF's increasing politicization.
According to a report on "Channel 14 – Israel's News Channel," a security source clarified: "What we did in Gaza will also be done in the West Bank… Significant destruction in Jenin is expected. Security forces will go from house to house, street to street. This will take at least two months." Furthermore, commentators on the channel revealed: "The Chief of Staff attempted to oppose certain aspects of the plan, but ultimately the directive was issued: 'With or without you, we are carrying out the campaign.'"
It might be worth questioning whether the entire process could be bypassed, eliminating the involvement of the people's army in advancing political agendas. Today, civilian militias and motivated individuals on the ground are ready and able to perform the "holy work" with "great joy" and "fill their pockets with nuts" [according to a popular Israeli Passover song].
