The IDF has previously announced that they will evacuate 100,000 Palestinian civilians before an expected military operation.
They have not set a time frame for the evacuation.
– We have no other choice but to start the invasion of Rafah, said Gallant, who justified it by saying that Hamas refuses to hand over hostages, said Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Monday night.
Hamas has announced that an operation in Rafah will have repercussions:
– Israel’s evacuation order is a dangerous escalation that will have consequences, says Hamas leader Sami Abi Zuhri to Reuters.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant hinted on Sunday that a planned military operation in Rafah would begin shortly.
1.4 million Palestinians, many of them displaced, live in Rafah now.
– An Israeli offensive in Rafah will mean more civilian suffering and deaths. The consequences will be devastating for 1.4 million people, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) writes on X.
Egypt says on Monday that the Rafah border crossing into Egypt will remain open for some people and the transport of emergency aid.
