Just three weeks after October 7, 2023, Israeli Military Intelligence created a concept paper proposing a temporary transfer of the Gazan population to Egypt to deal with a completely underestimated Hamas war machine. Hamas had purposely enmeshed within the civilian population, using them as human shields, and had a multilayered subterranean tunnel network longer than the London metro. Now, Israel is beginning Operation Gideon's Chariots, whose goal is to dismantle Hamas's military and governing capabilities by moving 75% of the population of the Gaza Strip within two months and holding the territory so that Israel can effectively deal with the remaining Hamas fighters and finish dealing with the tunnel network, which was initially believed to be too complex and dangerous to dismantle fully.
