The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has ended its military campaign, Operation Khan Younis, in southern Gaza and is now preparing for a ground offensive in Rafah.
According to Israeli Defense Ministry sources, preparations are being made for a military operation in Rafah by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant met senior officers of the Israel Defense Forces’ 98th Division on Sunday and discussed the Rafah operation with them.
Israel’s allies, including the United States and other Western powers, have called on Israel’s defense forces not to launch a ground attack in Rafah. If this ground attack is carried out, it will cause a lot of damage to civilians.
It is worth noting that Rafah is a densely populated area and about 1.3 million people live there. During a visit to Egypt in March, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi raised concerns with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the Rafah operation.
