An IDF representative said in a classified briefing to the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that Iran has resumed producing ballistic missiles at a high rate, about half a year after the "12-Day War." She was also asked by Knesset members if there is a ready plan to defeat Hamas and dismantle it if U.S. President Donald Trump's plan fails, and she replied that the IDF is developing a plan that is "in the design stages." Regarding Gaza, it was stated that Trump is determined to move to phase two by Christmas, and that Hamas is exploiting the ceasefire to rearm in all aspects of force building.
