According to reports from Haaretz, the Israeli military leadership presented a plan to the political echelon intended to de-escalate security operations in Hebron. The proposal reportedly included provisions to end ongoing military raids and allow local Palestinian residents to return to their daily routines, which have been significantly disrupted by security measures. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz reportedly blocked the implementation of this plan.

The report suggests a disconnect between the IDF’s operational assessment—which apparently favored a reduction in military activity—and the government's current security policy for the West Bank. While the IDF has not issued an official statement confirming the specific details of the rejected plan, the report highlights an ongoing tension regarding how to manage security in volatile areas like Hebron. The decision to maintain the current level of military activity suggests that the government prioritizes a strict security posture over the normalization of civilian life in the city, despite the military's internal recommendation to shift tactics. No further details regarding the specific security concerns cited by Netanyahu and Katz for blocking the plan were provided in the initial reporting.
