A member of the Israeli war government, Benny Gantz, confirmed today, Monday, that a large-scale military movement will indeed take place in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
According to Israeli Channel 14, Gantz said during a cabinet session regarding reports that discussed Israel’s readiness for the military operation: “Tonight’s operation is evidence that terrorism will not get anything.” He added: “There is no doubt that a large-scale operation has begun in Rafah.”
The Israeli army is preparing for a large military operation in the city of Rafah, under the cover of war on Hamas fighters, which Israel says are currently stationed in the city.
The Israeli move was rejected by countries and international organizations, as the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, considered on Monday that the possibility of a complete Israeli incursion into Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip is “terrifying,” and added, “We can imagine what awaits us.”
Turk said in a statement, “Any potential large-scale military incursion into Rafah – where approximately 1.5 million Palestinians are gathered on the Egyptian border with nowhere else to flee – is terrifying, given the possibility of a very large number of civilian deaths and injuries.” “And here too, most of them are children and women.”
