IDF Readies for Ground Offensive in Rafah as Tensions Escalate with Gaza Strip

The Israeli military is currently preparing for an operation in Rafah, a city located in the far south of the Gaza Strip. According to a senior Israeli security official, the operation is expected to begin “very soon” and the Israeli army is fully ready to launch it.

The plan for the ground offensive in Rafah has been presented to American officials and other agencies in the region. It will be carried out in phases, with each phase dividing the city into defined areas. Before advancing into each area, the army (IDF) will inform the population so that civilians can evacuate shelters and homes in time.

Two brigades of reservists have been mobilized to return to southern Gaza and continue their defense and attack mission under the command of the 99th Division. Additionally, two reserve brigades are being moved from northern Israel to the border with Lebanon.

Despite opposition from some countries, including Egypt which borders Rafah, Israel has approved its latest plan for the Rafah operation. This plan aims at completing its mission and potentially addressing the issue of hostages. The US government has expressed concern about entering Rafah without a credible plan to protect civilians, but Israeli officials remain adamant that it is necessary for national security reasons.
