The Israeli government has shifted its focus from recovering hostages in Gaza to targeting top Palestinian leaders, according to Israeli military officials speaking to Middle East Eye.

Israeli officers, serving in Gaza, revealed that Prime Minister Netanyahu's operations are primarily aimed at pursuing Yahya Sinwar, because the war has become more personal to Netanyahu.

While some hostages might be exchanged, they are no longer a priority for Israeli officials, who are now fixated on capturing Sinwar and other high-ranking members of the Qassam Brigades.

Reportedly, Tel Aviv is planning a "new phase" of the war, involving a long-term military presence, which has received partial approval from Washington. This plan includes a ground invasion of Rafah, initiated by Israel by seizing a key border crossing.
