Israeli security convened an emergency meeting after “a recent unusual event that may indicate a Hamas attempt to prepare for a ground invasion into Israel,” according to a new report.
Israeli i24 News’ Ariel Oseran shared information about a sudden meeting on X Monday. No details have emerged at press time about the contents of the gathering.
The report, which has not been confirmed by any third parties, comes as tensions soar in the region amid fragile Gaza ceasefire negotiations as Gaza looks to rebuild after 15 months of bombardment.
“Urgent security consultations took place at the top security and political levels in Israel due to ‘a recent unusual event that may indicate a Hamas attempt to prepare for a ground invasion into Israel.’ The censorship approved to publicize the information,” Oseran wrote on X.
The ceasefire put a halt to over 15 months of fighting, which led to the deaths of around 48,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
The Trump administration has suggested that it is keen to take long-term ownership of Gaza, expressing a willingness to deploy troops to the strip, after Trump’s meeting with Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, the first foreign leader to meet with the newly-sworn in president.
The plan consists of relocating Palestinians from Gaza into neighboring countries in order to rebuild the devastated strip, a move which ired Palestinians and Arab neighbors alike.
At least 57 Muslim nations have condemned the Trump administration’s plan to turn Gaza into the “Riveria of the Middle East.”
