Defense Minister Israel Katz announced during a cabinet meeting that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are preparing for a scenario where the Palestinian Authority and its affiliated terror organizations turn their weapons against settlers and IDF forces in Judea and Samaria and along the seam line. In such an event, a war would be declared against the Palestinian Authority, and the IDF would launch a comprehensive offensive according to a plan developed and approved by Prime Minister Netanyahu. Katz stated that the campaign would be short and powerful, involving ground and air forces, the elimination and expulsion of senior officials, weapon destruction, and the demolition of terror infrastructure in cities and refugee camps, modeled after operations in Gaza and Lebanon. "There will not be an intifada that lasts for years as in the past, but rather a short and powerful war with a clear decision and a change in reality," Katz asserted.
