Chief of Staff Zamir has held meetings in recent days with the political echelon, and he opposed prolonged entry into areas where there is a chance of abductees being found.

In recent days, the Chief of Staff recommended to the political echelon to continue to control about 75% of the territory of the Gaza Strip, and to carry out targeted raids on the central camps, while imposing a curfew - in order to try and exhaust Hamas.
