Israel’s media: ‘Occupation army pressuring Netanyahu to cease fire in Gaza, Lebanon’

The newspaper disclosed that Halevi and Gallant had increased pressure on Netanyahu to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza that would return the 101 living and deceased Israeli captives held by Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza.
The newspaper pointed out that in the speeches delivered on Thursday at an officer graduation ceremony, the two senior military officials urged: “Time is of the essence to return the hostages, which most officials now agree will only happen, if at all, through a deal of some kind with Hamas.”
This comes while Israeli Army Radio confirmed the killing of 87 Israelis in October, including 64 officers, soldiers and security personnel, as well as 23 civilians.
It also noted that the deceased had died on various fronts by firing anti-missiles, rocket barrages, clashes or confrontations and operations on the battlefields.
The Israeli occupation army, supported by the US and Europe, continues its attacks on the Gaza Strip for the second year, while its aircraft bomb hospitals, buildings and homes of Palestinian civilians, destroying them over the heads of their residents. The occupation also prevents the entry of water, food, medicine and fuel.
The aggression has killed and wounded around 145,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. More than 10,000 are believed to be missing amid massive destruction and famine in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
