Those were for the specific strikes that we saw on the Gaza Strip last night.There are broader plans for another ground invasion, for a much wider air and sea campaign as time goes on.And while the prime minister said that the main goal is to bring back all the Israeli captives, it\u2019s worth mentioning that Israel was the one that stalled on the negotiations for phase two of the deal, which would ultimately have seen an end to the war followed by the release of all remaining 59 captives.Click here to share on social media<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Foc05av%3Fupdate%3D3588278\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Israel%20has%20plans%20for%20broader%20land%2C%20sea%20and%20air%20assault%20on%20Gaza&amp;source=sharethiscom&amp;related=sharethis&amp;via=AJEnglish&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Faje.io%2Foc05av%3Fupdate%3D3588278\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aje.io\/oc05av?update=3588278\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>Advertisement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>18 Mar 2025 &#8211;
