Former Head of the Operations Division in the Operations Directorate, Major General (res.) Gadi Shamni accused the government and the IDF of putting soldiers in harm's way for political reasons. "The entry into Rafah is political. They threatened that if we don't act there, the government will collapse." He added that "the question is: at what point should the Chief of Staff knock on the table and perhaps go public, because sending soldiers into battle for political purposes is crossing a red line."
