Israel plans to partially withdraw its forces from Gaza in the coming months as the war against Hamas enters a new phase Monday.<\/p>\n

Israeli Defense Forces will now shift toward more targeted operations against Hamas, reducing the use of artillery and air strikes. Some of the reservists pulled up for active duty will also return to civilian life to help stimulate the economy, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated this weekend that the war is set to last many more months, however.<\/p>\n

“This will take six months at least, and involve intense mopping-up missions against the terrorists. No one is talking about doves of peace being flown from Shajaia,” an Israeli official told Reuters, referring to a district in Gaza.<\/p>\n
