The Israel Defense Forces has drawn up plans to conduct renewed, intensive military operations in Gaza in March, the newspaper said.
According to publication, the Israeli army is planning an offensive on Gaza City in order to push the demarcation "yellow line" as part of the ceasefire westward, toward the coast, and expand the territory under its control.
An Arab diplomat told the newspaper that the operation could not be carried out without US support.
He also told the publication that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not believe that the disarmament of the Palestinian movement Hamas would happen, and had therefore instructed the IDF to prepare appropriate plans.
