The besieged metropolis in southern Gaza presently hosts 1.4 million Palestinians displaced from different components of the enclave
Israeli tanks entered town of Rafah in southern Gaza earlier this week, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisting that the operation that had been delayed for a number of months was important to safe “complete victory” over the Palestinian armed group Hamas.
Rafah presently hosts some 1.4 million Palestinians displaced from different components of Gaza on account of Israeli airstrikes and floor offensives since October 7.
The UN warned that an Israeli invasion can be a “disaster” for civilians, whereas US President Joe Biden threatened to cease deliveries of “offensive” weapons to Israel within the occasion of a full-scale invasion of town.
Netanyahu has been reluctant to offer in to stress from Washington, vowing that Israel would “struggle with our fingernails” towards Hamas if the circulate of American arms involves a halt.
