Although this is a massive number requiring exceptional intelligence and operational capabilities, Netanyahu exploded in rage, slammed the table, and yelled at the Chief of Staff: \u201cWhy not 5,000?\u201d Halevi replied, \u201cWe don\u2019t have 5,000 approved targets,\u201d to which Netanyahu responded: \u201cI don\u2019t care about targets. Destroy homes, blow up everything we have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1613\">According to the article by journalist Nahum Barnea, this outburst was part of what former war cabinet member Gadi Eisenkot and others would later describe as a breakdown in Netanyahu\u2019s leadership during the early days of the war. Barnea added, \u201cOfficers I met in those days said Netanyahu had lost his mind. No wonder he refuses today to allow any investigation (through an official commission of inquiry). His problem isn\u2019t Chief Justice Amit. Even if MK Tali Gottlieb from Likud were to head the inquiry committee, she wouldn\u2019t be able to stop the witnesses from testifying.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13735\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13735\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13735 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wataer-in-Gaza555.jpg\" alt=\"Israeli PM demanded destruction without limits in early days of Gaza war\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wataer-in-Gaza555.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wataer-in-Gaza555-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wataer-in-Gaza555-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13735\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Netanyahu war strategy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"99\" data-end=\"154\"><strong data-start=\"99\" data-end=\"154\">Army Led the War as Netanyahu Dodged Responsibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"2115\">According to the report, the military felt \u201cabandoned, even in the later stages.\u201d The Cabinet members fought among themselves and failed to provide the General Staff with a coherent vision, strategy, or leadership. The argument that broke out on October 11, 2023, about launching a war in Lebanon foreshadowed what was to come. At the time, the military, Shin Bet, Mossad, and then-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant supported the operation, while Benny Gantz, Gadi Eisenkot, and the Americans opposed it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2117\" data-end=\"2645\">Netanyahu himself didn\u2019t want to carry it out, but he was afraid of having that position officially recorded. He and Gallant later resumed their disputes over the operation in Cabinet meetings over the following months, in front of the Chief of Staff and stunned generals. The newspaper added: \u201cThey simply couldn\u2019t stop fighting. The operation was eventually carried out at a different time and under different circumstances, with results that &#8216;shocked&#8217; the world. Who was right? Even within the army, opinions remain divided.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11474\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11474\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11474 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/496-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the Israeli Army, Herzi Halevi resignation\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/496-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/496-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/496-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/496-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/496.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11474\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army, Herzi Halevi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"75\" data-end=\"122\"><strong data-start=\"75\" data-end=\"122\">Army Took Charge as Netanyahu Shifted Blame<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2647\" data-end=\"2846\">In reality, according to the newspaper, \u201cit wasn\u2019t the Cabinet that managed the war \u2014 it was the army. That\u2019s how the military leadership felt. It was the army that initiated, planned, and executed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2848\" data-end=\"3215\">Netanyahu claimed credit for every successful step and disowned every failure. At times, he boasted of being involved in every detail; at other times, he claimed he hadn\u2019t been informed at all \u2014 depending on the outcome. He later worked to shift full blame for the failures onto senior IDF and Shin Bet leaders, hoping they would fall while he would emerge unscathed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3217\" data-end=\"3766\">The article also pointed out that Halevi had made it clear from the start that the war would be long and that he couldn\u2019t predict how long it would last. Barnea noted that the leadership circle around Halevi was on the verge of collapse, with some senior officers breaking down in tears. He reported: \u201cA brigadier general from one of the divisions told me a few days after October 7 that he went to the funeral of a friend killed in one of the kibbutzim \u2014 and he felt ashamed to attend in uniform. The sense of guilt and shame was unbearably heavy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watan-The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth revealed on Friday that Israeli Prime
