Israel Will Expand The Rafah Operation

Israel’s war cabinet has approved the expansion of its ground invasion of Rafah, a former “safe haven” for Palestinian refugees fleeing the fighting in north Gaza. A “measured expansion” of Israel’s operation in the densely populated city of Rafah in southern Gaza was approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet on Thursday night.

So far, around 110,000 people have fled Rafah seeking safety amid increasing attacks by the IDF.  The United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Nowhere is safe in the Gaza Strip and living conditions are atrocious.”
