Israeli security forces will continue to maintain a presence in the Gaza Strip following the operation, and this decision is aimed at preventing any resurgence of terrorist activities, as noted by Israeli Prime Minister Adviser Mark Regev.

It's important to clarify that Israel's intention is not to occupy the Gaza Strip or assume control over it. Instead, they are looking for international backing to help restore the region as a "demilitarized" territory, and they are hopeful for support from Arab nations as well. This approach aims to promote long-term stability and security in the area.
